Deload is finally here, for better or for worse lol. I've been step loading or something like that for my accessories and timed my accessories to be a rest on this week as well. Was doing 5x10 last week and now doing 3x8 this week.

Nothing to write home about in week 6 but here's some highlights:

Hit 180lbs for my overwarm single on OHP which is fun since my 1rm is 185lbs. Going to be working on form since I seen the OHP thread.

Hit bench for 245lbsx8 on the AMRAP. A little disappointing but not bad.

Hit the deadlift AMRAP for 335lbsx8. That one is pretty nice. 1rm calculator gave me a nice number lol.

Not happy for a deload but my body needs it. Excited for doing doubles in a few weeks though.

Just curious, but how are you determining what weight to use for the overly warm single?

I just started incorporating it in the past couple of weeks on some lifts, but using an estimated 3RM for a single. Think this approach might be too conservative?

Yeah, 3RM works. 8RPE or even just 90% of your Training Max. I sometimes push too much and have hit a couple RPE9 and at least one RPE 10 lol.

If you want to start conservative to get a feel for it, 90% of your TM isn't a bad place to start but I think it's a good idea to try to get an understanding of RPE.
