I squat and pull 2x a week, once comp and once for a variant ie pin, pause, HBBS…I usually do top single for comp lifts followed by sets of 5 but for my variants later in the week I like to add some reps and do like four sets of 6-8. My question is, how do I know how heavy to go on those to have carryover for comp lifts? If your doing sets of 5 on variants, would it be around 70%1RM, then if you do sets of 6 would you bump down to 65% and so on?
thanks
