Hi all!
I recently purchased the Reload program, and it looks very interesting! I already started to build my own version of the program, and I had a little question regarding the weekly progression.
From what I understand, the weekly jumps are calculated with the RM@80% test that I have to do for every lift. After, I multiply my 1RM by the percentage corresponding to my Rep Max test to find out my weekly progression.
But when I was reading the example Fabio gives to build the program, I noticed that he multiplied the % corresponding to the RM@80% to the 80% of his 1RM instead of his true 1RM. So I wanted to make sure I understand the testing process correctly:
- I test my RM@80%
- I find the corresponding progression percentage
- To find the weekly jumps, I multiply the percentage to my true 1RM, and not to the 80% of my 1RM
I hope my question was clear, and thank you in advance!
