I am a beginner powerlifter.

DL 100 kg

Squat 60 kg

Bench press 70 kg

I weigh 68 kg

I run candito linear for the past 3 weeks.

I was doing bench of 60 kg with 6 reps previous two weeks, this week I cant even lift it more than one.

Same things with squats

On hypertrophy days I end up reaching absolute failure, I like very high intensity training.

So the question is, on hypertrophy days where 3*12 and 4*12, can I switch to 2 sets to failure to reduce the volume. Will this fix my main lifts progression?

And How should I train in hypertrophy days, will 7 RPE be enough stimulus for growth?

Whats your thoughts?
