    Default TM Cycling Rep Ranges- Missed Reps

    Andy,

    I am currently running a 4 day TM split cycling rep ranges for Intensity Days (1x3, 1x2, 1x1). My question specifically relates to my Press. For this 3 week 'cycle' My planned Intensity Day workouts were:

    Week 1- 152.5 x3
    Week 2- 157.5 x2
    Week 3- 162.5 x1

    I missed weeks 1 and 2 by one rep each week (a double at 152.5 and single at 157.5). However, I hit 162.5 x1 and the weight moved pretty fast. After missing the first two intensity days my plan was to repeat the weights next cycle, but since I hit week 3 should I reconsider that plan?

    You just need to "spread" things out a little bit more. If 162.5 is your 1RM or very close to it, your 3RM is going to be about 90% of that which should be closer to about 146.
