Questions for everyone who's using MKM...
Some of the programs have a prescribed weight to use while others don't. For the programs that do prescribe a weight, they all seem to be higher range RM's and you do sets of half your RM (For example, use a 10RM and do sets of 5 reps). Is that the general guideline to follow for choosing weight for the programs that don't prescribe a RM (So a 10-12RM for sets of 6 reps)?
On program design, Geoff mentions 4 different rep schemes and their uses. Has anyone tried using a lower rep scheme (for more of a strength focus) with one of the programs that originally prescribes higher reps? I'm quite sure the programs have the rep schemes that they do for a good reason. I wasn't sure if that bit of info on rep schemes was meant to explain why the programs use the reps they do, OR if it was to get us experimenting with the programs using different rep schemes.
Thanks!
