How do you guys apply Prilipin's Table for ME work?
For example, if you are working up to a 3RM on the box squat, how can you use Prilipen's Table to insure that the kids are getting enough volume?
For the first 4 weeks of the summer, I'm looking at using an 8x3 workout for ME work. The goal is for the kids to work up to a new 3RM each time they do a particular lift (alternating box squats and dead lifts every week). That is 24 total reps. Is that too much volume for an ME workout? According to Prilipin's Table, if you are working between 2-4 reps per set, you want to get in between 10-20 total reps. So, with 24 total reps, we are a little over the high end, but I am dealing with high school kids who, IMO, need a little more volume than an adult.
For the second 4 weeks of the summer (following a one-week deload), we are going to do 5x3 and then 3x1 for ME work. That is 18 total reps. Again, is that too much volume? According to Prilipin, if we are working 2-4 reps per set (we will be doing 5 sets of 3), we want to get in between 10-20 reps. We are at 15 with the 5 sets of 3 reps. When we drop down to the 3 sets of 1 rep, according to Prilipen, we should getting in 4-10 reps total.
So, does anyone have any issues with the volume for this ME workout? Too much or too little, or just right?
