I honestly haven’t tried it so I can’t tell you if it would work or not. Having a similar total volume doesn’t necessarily lead to the same training effect as fatigue accumulation will not follow the same pattern.

I theory it should work but I would not go above sets of 3 myself if I tried it.

Thank you for answering.

I’m gonna try it with 3 reps per set for the next 4 weeks and let you know.
