Strength III for the back off sets, as an example:
76% e1RMx20 reps (sets of 4-6 reps, all sets < RPE 8.5)
Does this means:
- Get e1RM from 1@8 that day
- Take 76% of that, put it on the bar
- Do a set, assuming you’ll be able to do somewhere in the range of 4-6, if you hit RPE 8.5 at rep 4, stop. If you don’t hit it on 5, go to 6 but no matter RPE at 6, stop?
Or should each set in 3 be pre-determined number of reps and the weight varies based on RPE of the prior set?
It’s a subtle difference I suppose!
Aside: I figured this question may have been asked already but I did a forum search and from experimenting and reading the search tips in the advanced section it does not seem that a simple exact string match is possible for multiple words.
In other words “Strength III” returns results for “Strength” OR “III” and there does not seem to be a mechanism to include whitespace.
I used Google search in lieu of it but couldn’t find anything there either: BBM “Strength III” template forums site:forum.barbellmedicine.com
