Scaling:
Ideally, each set will be as heavy as possible, but newer athletes should start light and add weight as they are comfortable. Experienced athletes can establish a goal weight for the final set of each movement. Work backward to help guide the load choice for the initial sets. Spend at least 10-15 minutes warming up to the working load for the first set. If at any point your mechanics begin to deteriorate, decrease the load.
