Notes:

𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦

If you see an exercise with a VARIABLE set count listed (Ex: 2-3x5-10), you should do the HIGHER NUMBER in the event that you are some combination of:

-Not pressed for time
-Training less often (Every Other or 3x Per Week)
-Do not need to decrease your time spent during rest periods in order to fit all of the work in even if selecting the higher number

If you see an exercise with a VARIABLE set count listed (Ex: 2-3x5-10), you should do the LOWER NUMBER in the event that you are some combination of:

-Pressed for time
-Training more often (4x Per Week)
-Would need to decrease time spent during rest periods in order to fit all the work in if selecting the higher number

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬

If you do NOT trust your ability to gauge RIR accurately, take sets to ~0 RIR/Failure to ensure you’re not sandbagging sets

Should you elect to do so, be sure NOT to take any 50/50 reps (reps you’re not sure you’ll get) on exercises like Hack Squats to avoid ending up in a susceptible position

3-3+ minutes rest between WORKING sets is ideal. 2 is fine but that is the ABSOLUTE FLOOR!!!

1-2 minutes rest is fine between WARM UP sets
