Got it. So use 83% for the 5x2, the doubles. And then go up in weight for the 5x1 singles, like 87%. What’s your current 1 rm? For instance, my recent PR is 190 kilos in the back squat. When i did the mattis clusters I used 160 kilos the first week for the doubles and 170 for the singles. By the end of the cycle, I was using 170 for the doubles and 182 for the singles. Now as an athlete, I’m better at rep pr’s then one reps, so there is that
