Yes. I usually do singles after working sets. I am always hesitant to go from warmups (which are usually 65%x5 and 85%x3 to 5 of my working sets) to heavy singles. What’s the philosophy behind the singles before working sets ?

Heavy singles were recommended on a more hypertrophy based program so you kept practice with heavier weights. They don’t cause much fatigue unless the lifter is trying a 1RM every workout.

His actual tweet: Lazy programming tip:

Take any generally decent hypertrophy program, add 2-3 heavy singles (RPE 7-9ish) before the volume work for your main lifts, and you have yourself a pretty good year-round strength program for intermediate lifters.
