That significantly alters the volume, by a lot more than I expected. Taking this week as an example, my Heavy day was 280x5x3 for a total tonnage of 4,200lbs. Keeping the Intensity high for both my Light (90%) and Medium (95%) day put me at 255x3x3 and today's 275x4x3. That doesn't look like much, but then run the numbers for tonnage and the Light day was 2,295lbs and the Medium day was 3,240lbs, or a total stress for the squat each day of 53% and 75%, respectively. So even though these were 95% of my Heavy day, the much lower stress on the Light day meant that today felt good through all three sets.
