Programming Heavy Days on HLM

[eric86]

Brent,

I have a quick question regarding HLM set up. On the heavy days I have started using method of one top set at 5 and then 4 back off sets at 95% for combination of intensity and volume. When it comes to the light and medium days do I set the %’s off the top set of 5 or the back off sets? Thank you for your time.

You generally base it off of the top set of 5 but remember percentages are not law. They are suggested starting points and need to take in mind the lifter and the numbers THEY are working with.
