      looking ahead to next week is 4A week 1 and it calls for bands and reverse bands. I do not have the setup or bands and unfortunately cannot make it in next week. for the band’s should I substitute with chain? or just try to stay at the RPE I don’t know what I’d be able to do for the reverse bands unless it’s just trying to stay at the RPE on program

      In that case I would work up to do the reverse bands sets without bands but drop the percentage slightly. Play it by ear with the RPE but it would fall into the 90-95% range. Just hit these totally locked in with perfect form. The idea here is to feel some weight on your back, which the reverse band will allow you to feel 100% without 100% effort to lift it, but this will make due.
