If you reply with your numbers, I’ll help convert your next set

Tell me:

  1. exercise and variation
  2. target reps and target RIR
  3. your last set load, reps, and RIR estimate
  4. your available plate increments

I’ll translate it into the exact rackable load I’d try first, plus the follow-up adjustment rule for the next repeat.
