Weeks 10 & 11 of the Press Template

Training Q&A [Moderated]

Hello there,

Weeks 10 & 11 of the Press Template have the Competition Squats/Deads listed as: “65% of e1RM (based on single x 5 reps), 75% of e1RM x 5 x 2, 85% of e1RM x 3 x 2”

Is this reps x sets, or vice versa?

Thank you!

The two proper notations are:

WEIGHT (or %1RM) x REPS x SETS

Or

SETS x REPS x WEIGHT (or %1RM)

So 75% x 5 x 2 is two sets of 5 reps. 85% x 3 x 2 is 2 sets of 3 reps.
