*Start Heavier and lower the weight until you have a moderate weight on the bar for your max reps. Should be in the 15+ range.

(Score is Weight)

GOAL: RPE 8 | We don’t often lift like this but see what it feels like to start heavier then slowly take weight off the bar. For any studs out there, try to shoot for bodyweight for the max reps. We have seen that test mucho times.
