Hey BBM,
Recently I read the article from Data Driven Strength below and wanted to know your thoughts about it:
https://www.data-drivenstrength.com/articles/rir-and-muscle-growth
If training with heavier loads at roughly a 10rm (75% more or less) can maximize muscle growth , wouldn’t it be more worthwhile to use this concept with less reps and more sets vs a traditional ramp up like on the hypertrophy template ?
IE: high bar squat 8@7,8@8,8@9, vs 8@7, 75% 4x4
Do you think this would be more optimal or have more benefits in the long run of resistance training for either or both strength and hypertrophy goals for the multi joint and fatiguing compound movements?
Would it be a better bet to save the higher RPE work for single joint and less fatiguing compounds like cable rows or leg press?
