Hi guys, is it just me, or does something seem off here? I’m coming from the first generation of Strength 3 and a few other programs, so the rep scheme feels potentially incorrect. I’ve found errors in it before, so now I’m honestly a bit paranoid about the template in general, lol. It’s possible that I just don’t understand the new template’s approach, but if that’s not the case, please confirm. Thanks! ![Screenshot 2025-04-29 143237](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/barbellmedicine/original/2X/c/c44c523b3e1eb071acc734f2c609e9ed2f587ed2.png) ---

Can you clarify what seems off here? ---

To me that looks like you work up to a top single at RPE 8 followed by a set of 4 reps at RPE 7 then stay with that weight (the 4@7) for a total of 10 reps broken up into sets that allow you to perform the set at no greater than an effort of RPE 7 (so the 10 reps could look something like: 100 x 3@7, 100 x 3@7, 100 x 2@7 100 x 2@7).. with rests of at least 3 minutes between each set or however long enables you to hit the prescribed effort levels? I could be wrong though. ---

Howdy! This programming is uses RPE caps on back off sets to help manage fatigue. To do this, you’d hit your top set - in this case, 4 @ 7 - and then use that weight to complete another 10 total reps. The trick is, no set can be \> RPE 7. So, it might look like 4, 4, 2, or 3-3-3-1, or 3-2-2-2-1, or any permutation of that. As always, we try to fix any errors that people find ASAP. I try my best to identify them before the programs go out, but it is possible I miss somethings. -Jordan ---

Ok so it is correct, It threw me off, the change from 4 reps to 10 instead of 12, thanks for confirming! other than that I’m loving the new gen template version 🙂
