Hi Jordan and BBM crew,
I’m on week 9 of Low ISF 3-day. For my accessory squat I wrote in leg extensions mainly because I find myself getting tired of solely barbell exercises. The template prescribes 8 reps at RPE 8 for the top set, problem is my cheap cable machine only goes up to 160lbs which is far too light for 8 reps at 8 for me. I decided to do a set until I felt it was 2 RIR, which ended up being 25 reps. My question is: is this adjustment “okay” enough since I’m still hitting RPE 8? Or is the difference in rep scheme too great to the point it’s doesn’t serve the template structure and goals of 1RM strength? I know it’s probably not ideal at all, but just curious if it’s detrimental to the point I should abandon this approach and suck up and do a barbell accessory that fits the sets and reps scheme. Thanks in advance!
