Because it's fatal volume for Friday's workout. The idea of Friday, in a perfect world, is that you do Monday and actually recover enough to get some kind of RM on Friday. That may not always happen but what matters is that Monday is the volume day and Friday is the PR day. Intensity is high but volume stays as low as possible. There is NO advantage to doing it the way you did it. Remember EVERY week is both it's own thing AND represents Monday to Monday progress and Friday to Friday progress. Sso to do this it means that you are able to recover from each week before the new one begins (as much as humanly possible).

So fatigue is managed within the week AND theoretically any accumulated fatigue that has not dissapated by Friday will have dissapated by the next Monday. So ANYTHING OTHER than what allows your basic progression on those two days is a NO-GO.

How I did these is if I did a 1RM on one Friday, I'd try for a 2RM the next and so on down the line. The backoff sets are there to help in recovery and to maintain proper movement patterns.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
