Each lift with its working sets and target, in the order you run them. The coach sets the loads from your training and moves them up as the work gets easier.

The coach sets the loads and moves them up — these are the schemes
When to reach for this template
Three comp attempts per lift, anchored off each lift's peak-week realization single (treat as expected 1RM): opener ~93% RPE 8, second ~97% RPE 9, third 100-103% RPE 9.5-10. Full comp warmup ramp into each opener; 3-5 min rest between attempts. Autoregulate up: if the opener moves at <RPE 8, hold the planned second/third. If any attempt misses, repeat the same load next attempt — do not jump. No accessory work today; do not add backoff or volume sets.
