    3 sets each with a 90 second rest between! Today you need a longer rest break because we are targeting the same muscle groups. Aim for heavy sets at 85% of your max effort!

    3 sets per exercise with ideally 8-12 reps! Aim for an RPE of 5-6 and rest 1 full minute between sets!

    If you are able to perform the last exercise (weights light enough) perform 2 sets of every exercise at 75% of your max effort (2 Reps in reserve)

    If not, perform 3 sets of each exercise with the same effort and reps.
