    Default Question on HLM

    • starting strength seminar jume 2024
    • starting strength seminar august 2024
    • starting strength seminar october 2024
    Just seen an article by Andy Baker on HLM where on Heavy day and Light day the Bench and Press are 3x5 followed by 1back-off set of 8-12reps. My question is, at what percentage of the working weight for 3x5 would the 8-12rep set be? Thanks.

    Going to vary based on how much you are lifting. You will have to play around with it to find the right amount. If you are benching 250x5x3 a reasonable back off weight for sets of 8-12 would probably be 225 just as an example.
