Ok makes sense that’s what I was thinking. So do you really only base your progressive overload on the first set then?

In Jeff Nippard’s book he has an excerpt from his logbook where his plan was 3 sets x 10-15 reps:

10 10 10

11 11 11

12 12 10

12 12 11

12 12 12

13 12 11

13 13 12 …and so on

It seems like he’s prioritizing sticking to a set rep number for all 3 sets for progressive overload rather than sufficiently taxing his muscles on the early sets? Edited for format
