1. I am really torn, to be honest. For intensity squat, I only do 3 X 3. Even when I account for the extended warm up, the tonnage of my last and heaviest session amounts to 4555 lbs. Meanwhile, last volume session adds up to 6527 lbs. Isn’t intensity easier to recover from than volume?
I am asking because, schedule wise, I could just add an extra day of full rest before deadlift day. I could even reduce squat volume on intensity day. I have been doing 3 X 3 somewhat arbitrarily; most women stick with 2 sets. I could totally drop the third set, which would reduce intensity work by a third and total tonnage by almost 15%.
