On compounds, you get 2 warm up sets and 1 working set ONLY.
On isolation movements, you get 1 warm up and 1 working set ONLY.
Warm up Set 1 - 50% of Working set weight
Warm up Set 2 - 75% of Working set weight
Working set weight - a weight you can lift for no less than 7 reps and no more than 10
If you cannot get 7 reps minimum, you have a confidence drop. This means the following week you must drop back down to your previous working set weight and go for maximum reps.
confidence challenge
If you get 10 reps of your WS, you must do a confidence challenge. This means the following week, you must lift the same working set weight for 12 reps.
confidence surge.
If you get 12 reps (or more), you have a confidence surge.
more than 10, then the following week you must use the same working weight for 12 reps minimum, then the week after that, you can increase the working weight.
You are not allowed to increase your Working Set weight ever, unless you've done 12 reps with it.
You are not allowed to increase your Working Set weight ever, in the same week.
This may seem tedious, but the focus is on safe strength gains, for someone with limited time.
Here is an example:
Quote
Week 1: 10 rep of 100k (Lifter didn't know their Working Set (WS), so just guessing starting point)
Week 2: 12 reps of 100k (Lifter did 12 reps of 100k, so they must increase WS following week)
Week 3: 8 reps of 110k (Lifter increased by 10kg, lifter couldn't get 10 reps, but did more than the minimum required reps to stay on this weight)
Week 4: 12 reps of 110k (Lifter did 12 reps of 110k, so they must increase WS the following week)
Week 5: 6 reps of 120k (Lifter only did 6 reps of WS, less than the minimum of 7. Lifter must drop weight and go for max reps next week)
Week 6: 14 reps of 110k (Lifter dropped WS, hit the 12 rep mark, so they must increase WS next week)
Week 7: 8 reps of 120k (Lifter increased WS by 10kg, did less than 10, but more than 7, so stay on this weight)
Week 8: 9 reps of 120k (Lifter stayed with same WS, did less than 10, but more than 7, so stay on this weight)
Week 10: 10 reps of 120k (Lifter did 10 of WS, so next week, must go for 12)
Week 11: 12 reps of 120k (Lifter did 12 of WS, so must increase WS next week)
Week 12: 8 reps of 130k (Lifter increased WS by 10kg, did less than 10, but more than 7, so stay on this weight)
I can explain it more clearly if you are interested in trying it.
