Day 5 Glute Bible error?

Why are there two hip thrusts on day 5? One is shorter reps than the other but they’re both at same RPE..is this on purpose? Would they not just be more sets??

Which program?

Hi! I’ve been doing the upper/lower program. I’ve focused on arms for the past 6 months and I think the consistency of a program has made a huge difference, but my arms are starting to get bigger than I’d like. I thought about going to the glute program since growing my glutes is the main goal right now. However, it’s a 5 day program instead of 4. Any suggestions on which program to do/how to modify them to my goal?

Tracking when you have to go out for lunch

Hello!! Based on the nature of my job, I have client meetings which require me to eat out restaurants 2/3 times a week (I know, sucks to be me right lol...). I try to pack a lunch on the other days, but do you have any tips for when you have to eat out? In particular, when the restaurant does not provide the nutrition facts? What should I be looking for on the menu? Anything to avoid? How do I track when there are no nutrition facts.
