Still trying to figure out how to load the bar and bands for an overload set. I am starting Strength I on Tuesday.
Week 1, Day 2 I have to do overload squat. I just finished Bridge 1.0 with e1RM for belted squat at 320 and the No belt squat e1rm is 300.
I assume this overload is w/o belt since it does not say to use a belt.
The guidance says 20% of 1RM from the band, so that is either 60 or 64 lbs from the bands.
The sets are supposed to be 5 reps at RPE 7,8 and 9. Assuming no belt that would be 237, 243 and 252# (rounded to the nearest 5#) for a normal squat.
My question is do I still put that weight on the bar and then add bands at 30# on either side at lockout or do I subtract the 60 lbs from the weight on the bar or something in between?
I have had zero luck finding this answer on the interwebs or this forum.
Thanks,
Mark
