Have a question about training, recovery, programming, or diet? This is the place to ask

No question is too basic or too advanced. Whether you’re new to strength training or a seasoned lifter troubleshooting sticking points, ask away.

Folks feel free to jump in with answers too, or anything else training related

Ok, thanks, I'll just set a threshold for myself. If I do more than 6 reps at 95% for my 1+ set, I'll do a joker set for 105%. If I bang out at least 5 reps on that first joker set I'll do 115% for a second joker, before going into accessory work.

We'll see how that goes.
