I am working through The Bridge, and am trying to apply the programming principles in “Practical Programming” to build a Heavy/Light/Medium phase for after, rather than move into a 4 day split (provided I still respond to training 3 days a week). Is it appropriate to use RPE on this program? Essentially setting up the heavy day to go from RPE 6, to, 7, to 3 sets at 8 some weeks, and going up to 9 on other weeks? Also, I am wondering if it makes sense to stagger the heavy day throughout the week, so that Monday is not as stressful, but then there would also not be a true light day as well. Maybe the book addresses this, still need to reread this section over the next month before I try and do my own program. Thanks for your help, and all the content you produce!
Thanks,
