I’m following the program that Geoff Neupert wrote here: The 12-Week Muscle-Building Kettlebell Master-Plan | Bodybuilding.com
I’m in week 7 and after completing 4 sets of the presses at the prescribed % RM and 60-90 sec RI fatigue sets in. After set 4, sticking to the 60-90 sec RI, I cannot achieve the total % RM ie if 70% RM = 9 reps, I’m only able to achieve 6 with perfect form in set 5. I played with increasing the RI after set 4 and I could get closer to the % RM in the future sets. What is the guidance based on his program principles (he doesn’t say)?
A. Increase the duration of the rest internal to reach the % RM in each subsequent set?
B. When perfect form ends, stop the set and rest for the next set? Ex: sets 1-4 achieve 9 reps in each and sets 5-8 achieve 6 reps in each set with the prescribed RI.
C. At the point I can no longer reach the % RM in the set, end the workout completely?
Thanks-
