Any ideas?

1@8 then 3x6 at 8…

I saw Jordan saying maybe do 1 set of 6 @8 then go to your single then finish your last 2 sets of 6…?

Thanks

Either works. teddy’s option certainly saves time. I typically prefer to do the single before all work sets. So for my squat sets this morning (1@8, 4x4 @8):  
275x4  
315x4 (felt like butt)  
365x1 @6  
385x1 @7  
405x1 @8  
365x4x4 @7.5, 8, 8, 8.5

Part of it is I lift early in the morning, though, and I find the ramping singles help me warm up, get ready, get focused, and the volume sets go a lot smoother. Could be just mental but it’s what I prefer.

I have done teddy’s way when either the ramping volume sets have felt just fine, or I’m pressed for time.
