Loading Notes
• Reps drop by 2 from the progression three weeks ago while percentages have increase a bit here, so pick a load inside the range and repeat it across all four sets.
• This is funnel style periodization: we built mechanics through time under tension early, hit higher percentage and lower volume last week, and now we sit in the middle to express both.
• If set three starts to grind or depth changes, hold the load or come down slightly for set four; quality wins over the number on the bar.
