Catalyst into (5-7)

WOD 3/18: gorilla wod: template

so i took a week off for rest/recovery and had a thought regarding catalyst. what if i were to follow the catalyst format but increase the rep ranges and lower the weights?

initially i thought i would hypertrophy catalyst, but upon doing a couple sets, decided that i needed more weight on the bar and less reps.

so what about the 5-7 rep range? this range seems to float somewhere in limbo between strength and hypertrophy. i think i might give it a shot. i'll probably reduce the given percentages by 3/4 or so. so if 80% of 1 rep max is prescribed, i would do 60% and increase the reps to the 5-7 range.
