This series contains 3 separate blocks of programs that are designed for a beginner or intermediate level powerlifter. There are three (3) workouts per week that repeat for four (4) week. The workouts are guided by RPE as well as percentages. The percentages are a guide to help find or discover your RPE ratings per set. These are merely averages based off the target RPE per set. The program is designed to allow a fluctuation in the actual weight used per set based on your RPE rating and readiness for that day.  The working sets are designed to be progressive in the weight/intensity per set. 
This series of workouts progress in intensity. You can jump from one block to the other completing them in sequence or jump from one block of this series to another block of a different series. Mix and match them as you wish.
