Question re: volume prescription on GPP Hypertrophy Template

Hi Jordan,

Simple question. It’s regarding how to interpret your sets x reps notation for GPP Hypertropghy.

You state: 6 @ 6, 6 @ 7, 6 @ 8 x 2 sets

Do you mean: 6 @ 6 x 1 set, 6 @ 7 x1 set, and then 6@8 x 2 sets (ie. working sets) OR do you mean 6 @ 6 x 2 sets, 6 @7 x2 sets, 6 @8 x2 sets.

I think you mean the first option which results in 24 total reps. The second option means 36 total reps. I just want to be certain that I’m interpreting your prescription correctly.

Yes, option 1.

You only repeat the 6 reps @ 8 for a second set.

Thanks for confirming, Austin. That’s what I thought.

So whenever I see a x@y without a (x sets) trailing before the comma then I can always and systematically assume it’s a single set in your programming templates?

Yes, that’s correct.
