Week 1 and 2
*Weeks 1 and 2, all sets are taken to 1RIR (meaning 1 set short of failure). Adjust weight as needed set to set, to stay in prescribed rep range. It’s ok to decrease weight set to set.
*Keep a little extra time to focus on form. Specifically controlling end ranges (no bouncing)
*Take 2-3 minutes rest between working sets. (You can go slightly above or below that amount as well, just make sure cardio is not the limiting factor in performance – you catch your breath between sets)
*All sets listed are working sets. Always take as many warmup sets as needed.
