Question:

Started today, but am a little confused.

Bench: 2 sets - 4-6 reps, 6-8 reps (rpt)

Since the RPT is your heaviest set, do I do that set first? The way he lists it and the way he says some things are confusing. Or are both sets RPT?

Both sets are RPT, first set is heaviest set, using a weight you can do 4 to 6 times. Second set is 10-15% lighter than the first.

When you can do 6 reps on the first set, you go up in weight on both sets. Until you get to 6 reps in the first set, second set weight continues to stay the same and you shoot for rep records. This is the dependent model.

All sets are taken to failure, but you don't fail during the rep on purpose. You stop short of that by one rep.
