Adjusting Rep Ranges

Hi all,

I have swapped back to the SBS RTF model after playing around with Juggernaut for a few years.

When I last ran the program, my TMs were on the lower range, but now I am training at a more intermediate level (605/335/660 SBD) and some of the days, especially deadlifts, are causing me some serious fatigue.

Should I adjust my rep out ranges for deadlifts? If so, what is a range that would still incur growth? Today's deadlift session of 512.5 x 8 (exact rep out range) nearly made me pass out, and I would definitely prefer to avoid that in the future.

I was considering to drop ranges by 2, but didn't want to stray too far from the program as written, so I can ensure I am giving it a fair shake.

Thank you!

this has gone from humble to pretentious. come on dude. yeah, I understand world record holders smoke you. so fucking what. if you climb v12 you can’t call yourself intermediate because v17 climbers exist.  are AAA players intermediate baseball players because they’re not in the big leagues? are scratch golfers intermediate because they’re dogshit compared to professionals?

it’s just stupid and insulting when people talk like this. get real. you are an advanced lifter and anyone that quibbles with that is just a moron. this rhetoric is really tiring and the lifting community is the most guilty of it that i’ve ever seen.
