When to reach for this template
No external load — RPE is paced by rest, not weight. The listed rest is a ceiling: cut it as the rep count falls so the back half stays continuous. Enforce a strict rep (chest to floor, full hip extension, jump at lockout); if turnover slows or form breaks for 2+ consecutive reps, sub the step-back no-jump burpee at the same reps rather than padding rest. Programmed as a finisher after the main lifts. If RPE8 is exceeded inside the first three rungs, drop the top rung (start at 8) and keep the rest descending.
