Top set, back off method
Hello everyone, I'm a trainer based in Dallas, TX looking to learn more about the nuances of programming and get other perspectives. I had a question about the top set back off approach, so I could do 1x1 RPE 7 (roughly a 4RM?) and then 2x5 RPE 8. What this might look like for a client trying to hit 2 plate bench is 1x1 at 165 lbs, then take some weight off so they can achieve 2 sets of 5 reps with a weight that they could achieve for 7-8 reps right (say 145 lbs)? Can this be run twice a week? Since it seems performing a movement more frequently is good for the skill aspect of strength.
