In TBI, Fighter is laid out as follows:

Week One: 75%
Week Two: 80%
Week Three: 90%
Week Four: 75%
Week Five: 80%
Week Six: 90%

In other templates, the percentages increase in weeks four to six (i.e. 80% to 85%, 90% to 95%). Why is Fighter different?

Choosing Fighter assumes maximal-strength is a lower priority domain. There is no reason for most athletes that fall in this category to lift above 90%RM.

I haven't run Fighter in a while and don't have my book in front of me, but doesn't Fighter Bangkok go up to 95%? Or maybe I'm just confusing it with Op.
