1 set × 9 reps @ 9 RPE
Goal Weight:

Starting with the 45lb bar, perform 9 reps; add 15lb to 25lb and perform a
second set of 9 reps. Continue in this fashion until you work up to a heavy set of
9 reps with about 1 rep left in the tank.

(Back-off Sets)
3 sets × 11 reps @ 85% of Top Set.
Goal Weight:

If your Top Set were 100lb, multiple by 0.85 to get your back-off sets' weight
Purpose: Bias towards strength off of the chest; push close to failure with a lighter load
(less fatiguing than same set/rep scheme with Comp. Bench)

● 3-Count-Pause Squat
(Top Set)
1 set × 9 reps @ 9 RPE
Goal Weight:

Starting with the 45lb bar, perform 9 reps; add 25lb to 50lb and perform a
second set of 9 reps. Continue in this fashion until you work up to a heavy set of
9 reps with about 1 rep left in the tank. 

(Back-off Sets)
3 sets × 11 reps @ 85% of Top Set. Goal Weigh:

If your Top Set were 100lb, multiple by 0.85 to get your back-off sets' weight.
Purpose: Bias towards strength of of the hole; push close to failure with a lighter load
(less fatiguing than sane set/rep scheme with Comp. Squat)

Giant Set (If Possible):


● Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
2 sets × 15 to 25 reps
*Take the last set to failure
Purpose: increased range of motion; altered movement pattern; hypertrophy via
metabolic stress; increased pressing volume.

Purpose: hypertrophy through metabolic stress and differing strength-curve.

The purpose of single-joint movements: train slightly different movement patterns or


neglected movement patterns to failure in higher rep ranges to induce metabolic stress
that are lower in systemic fatigue. Transference to main lift is uncertain, but, likely
being sufficiently recoverable, likely won't have a negative effect; improve cardio-
respiratory fitness/work capacity.
