Cycle: Back to the Roots
Week: 7 of 12
Weekly Theme: Volume Peak
Load: High
This is the biggest volume week of the cycle. The sets are familiar and the rest windows are tighter, so the win is simple: hold the standard when the work starts to feel ordinary.
Week 8 changes the lever again; this week is about finishing the volume chapter well.
Load management:
This is a high-load week because the strength volume and density peak together. RIR leads every percentage: if the planned number removes the prescribed reps in reserve, lower the load and keep the set quality. Athletes training four or more days should keep optional accessory work easy and protect the crisp standard on the barbell days.
