About RPE Training

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)is a subjective measure of how hard a set felt. It accounts for daily variations in strength, sleep, stress, and recovery that percentage-based programs can't capture.

How to use it: Instead of always hitting a fixed weight, you adjust based on how you feel. If the program calls for 5 reps @ RPE 8, you work up to a weight where you could do 2 more reps if you had to.

Benefits:Auto-regulation prevents overtraining on bad days and allows you to push harder on good days. It's particularly useful for intermediate and advanced lifters.
