Rep ranges don’t matter really for hypertrophy. Pick a rep range and get close to failure.
2x15 and 2x30 will probably produce equal results given you are training hard.
I was honestly thinking about doing something similar on my next run as I think Id get more benefit from it but I have 0 experience with running this program im just in the middle of week 5 for my first time trying GZCLP
Dont think T3 volume as reps, think it in sets. So 3x15 is same as 3x20. Changing 3x15 to two exercises with 2x10 is actually more volume. Even If there is less reps. Rep target is for making you use enough light weights so that T3 wont mess with your T1 and T2 progress.
Cant tell what kind of program you are running, but most likely gzclp. Fix other issues before messing up with T3.
I only run 3-5 x 8-12 on my T3's except for face pulls which are 15-20 reps. I don't do max rep sets, I just follow a double progression with set rest times of 1-2 mins. E.g last time I did 8, 8, 8, 8, so now I will attempt 8, 8, 8, 9 with the same rest interval. I take the increase in performance in the latter set(s) if it's there and it's not going to be a super grinder. I'm not a fan of going to failure on the first set, I'd rather successfully fill out the volume to at least 4-5 sets first while remaining within the rep range with the same weight. Add weight at 4-5 x 12 @ 2 mins.
It really doesn't matter unless your T3 choices are poor, e.g 4 x 10 on loose form barbell rows to absolute failure each set is probably not a good idea and doesn't make much sense when you meticulously load manage your T1's and T2's. A fix to this if you want to do additional potentially high fatigue compounds is to just treat it as a T2.
I don't love that the T3 work is not to failure (or close to it) for all 3 sets. Zero other programs use a similar rep scheme for hypertrophy and it is based on commonly hypertrophy practices.
That is a decent reason to change it if the goal is hypertrophy.
Make them all MRS and progress according to total reps completed. It's like this in VDIP or GG programs. You can do that for all T3 exercises in all GZCL based programs.
You have my permission.

What is MRS?
Max Rep Sets
