Intro week.  Just hitting 1/3 - 1/2 of target volume, and being very conservative with RPE.

I'll be focused on low rep Volume PRs this block, and I'm reminding myself how I used to warm-up for this kind of work: Ramping rep sets to 90-95% of target back off weight, then ramping singles with 5% jumps to top single, then back-off sets.  This has worked very well in the past for dialing in both the top sets and the back-off sets.  I got away from this while I was working in higher rep ranges because doing ramping sets of 8-17 reps would fucking suck.
