NOTES
We’re recalculating your EORM. This phase we’re going to increase the weights a bit because you’re getting stronger.
If during the last phase the weights were about right, then add 10 pounds to your EORM.
If the weights were light then add 15 pounds to your EORM
Step 2: Now you can calculate your percentages:
Set 1 – 65% of EORM
Set 2 – 70%
Set 3 – 75%
Set 4 – 80%
We’re getting deeper into the strength work and your form will become even more critical. Please remember that the weight is a tool – not a goal – so don’t let your ego write checks your body can’t (and shouldn’t even if it can) cash. Stay focused on why you’re here.
Do the rest of the exercises as normal – 10 reps using our normal rule of thumb: if you finish the set and could have done a couple more reps – up the weight.
Make sure to take the full 2:00 rest in between sets. The rest period is critical for the strength work.
