01
WHAT IS RPE
Rate of Perceived Exertion. A scale from 1–10 that measures how hard a set actually was. RPE 10 means nothing left. RPE 7 means you had 3 more reps in the tank.
02
HOW TO USE THIS
Your programme says 4x5 @ RPE 8. Find the 5-rep column. Find the RPE 8 row. That number is your weight for the day. No guessing. No ego. Just load the bar and go.
03
THE TABLE IS A STARTING POINT
These numbers give you a target. But if you rack up and it feels heavier than usual, drop the weight. RPE is about how hard the set actually is - not what the calculator said it should be.
