I'm operating under an assumption here and that assumption is that ur asking because u like doing that high rep stuff, I'm talking extremely high rep, like you like going to 50 reps frequently... the thing about going w a really really high rep scheme is that it's going to be really hard to find true failure thru that high rep burn u get... Gotta crack up the weight a little to a # that good sense tells you you'll only get 8 or 10 reps on first and once you do that you gotta do a few test running sets to failure or rather form failure to get a good baseline.... last thing I would suggest is don't fall in love with pre-programming ur sets B4 they are done, ur RIR is gonna change from day to day, if the weight sets and reps you do in ur sessions are predetermined from a script ur kinda flushing the whole RIR concept down the drain...

I think that's something we just figure out over time and with experience. It also varies with the type of exercise.

on a set scheme, I would do set reps no matter what, and I'm only worried about a top set if I'm pushing to get stronger. for detail and failure, every set is a top set to me, and I'm trying to juice as much as I can with proper form and good contractions. high reps are very hard to do when done correctly, and muscle endurance is the reward of that.

I just stop when I gonna fail on the next rep on the top set, goal is 5-8 reps. 2nd set is a drop set at 2/3 of the top set and to failure, gonna be about twice the reps of the first set.

Usually my top set on SBD and OHP is a heavy single, triple or set of 4 at ~RPE9. The Rest is bodybuilding work in the 5-30 rep range depending on exercise. I mostly train reverse pyramid with about 10% less weight per set, but aim to hit RPE8+ on all sets. Usually reps go up from set to set like that. I feel more confident and have never injured myself with the reverse pyramid approach as weight goes down as fatigue goes up.
