RIR (Reps In Reserve). RIR = How many reps away from failure we want you to go. We will typically work in the 1 – 3 RIR (1 to 3 Reps In Reserve) range to ensure the sets are hard enough to be challenging and for you to make progress.

Notes (A1).
– Build to a heavy 5 (H5) @ 3 RIR (around 80-84%1RM).
– Once you’ve hit the H5 set, you have 2 back-off sets of 6-8 reps @ 85-90%H5, and 1 set of AMAP @ 85-90%H5
– AMAP = As many reps as possible. Challenge yourself and see how many reps you can get
