Rest between sets, in minutes. In supersets (A1, A2) you do the exercises back to back: the short pause goes between them, and the round's rest comes after the last one.

How to progress

Add reps within the range at the indicated RIR; once all sets hit the max, go up to the smallest available weight.

  • RIR 2 on every exercise

RIR is the reps you have left in reserve: with RIR 2 you end the set when you could still do 2 more.

Weekly sets per muscle
