Hi!
Thanks BBM team for the new templates! Just got a quick question regarding what I’m exactly supposed to do using this type of rep scheme:
- Do I always target 6 reps at the beginning and then taper down as the sets get harder to 5 and then 4 reps as needed that day to stay below RPE 8.5?
- Do I always target 5x5 and deviate just when I feel like it’s too light or too heavy that day?
- What should I do when my set progression is e.g. 5, 5, 5, 4, 4 (=23 total reps)? Do I cap it at that as another set of 4-6 reps would overshoot the target number? Do I add another set of 4 to reach at minimum the devised number of total reps? Or should I target the 25 reps from the beginning anyway (e.g. I know that I best perform sets across and therefore I plan on 5x5 or that I best perform when I’m fresh and then need to taper down so I plan on e.g. 6, 6, 5, 4, 4 or 6, 5, 5, 5, 4)?
Thanks!
