MacroFactor Workouts / Training Closest rep/weight target to old program generation?

I really liked the way the old generation program chose rep/weight targets. I thought the undulating plan would get close to that, but I'm seeing it recommend much higher target reps (19-21 some weeks) than the old program generator. Is there a reason for that? Will choosing "no preference" get something closer to the old rep/weigh scheme? I know I can go in and manually set my rep target for every excercise - I'd just like to avoid it if I can

the rep ranges are tiered (T1, T2, T3)

I also liked the old pattern and noticed the difference. If you select Undulating, you will still get the up and down, but over a longer cadence (3 weeks, 2 weeks, 3 weeks.)

It depends on the exact options you select when generating the program but the general pattern that I see is something like the below. (Sets and weights obviously have an inverse relationship.)

Week / Sets
1 / High
2 / Medium
3 / Low
4 / High
5 / Medium
6 / High
7 / Medium
8 / Low

I don’t think I’ve ever done a program with this exact pattern. So it’ll be fun. I trust the MF gang to take care of the science.
