2) The RPE scale next to the exercises we have selected for you are an estimation of what weight will get you close to your prescribed RPE.
71
You will take a percentage of your one rep max and that will give you an estimation of what weight you should use for the workout. So, using bench press as an example, Ab Workout 1:
72
if your max was 200lbs, and you had a 3x5 at an RPE of 8, you would take 75% of 200lbs, which equals 150lbs. This means that 150lbs will be around RPE 8 for youHanging Leg Raises-3x10-20
73
on bench press. It is extremely important
to note that this is simply an estimation and you should be prepared to adjust up or down in weight accordingly, but this should get you close.
Cable Rope Crunches-3x10-20
74
3) Use the weight used/reps acheived column next to the exercises to record the weight you used and the reps you achieved for that workout. Each time you come into the gym
75
and do the same workout, you should try to lift more weight than you did the workout before or try to add reps to your sets. A good goal to have is to try to add 5-10 lbs to your lifts each sessionAb Workout 2:
76
on barbell based movements and add a rep to dumbbell based movements. Dip Bar Leg Raises-3x10-20
77
4) On some movements, you will notice that we may have given you a rep range such as 3x8-12. This means that for those 3 sets, you will choose a moderately heavy weight that you can perform forPlanks-3x1:00
78
8-12 reps with good form. If you find that you reach the top of the rep range. for each set, you will increase the weight and keep using that weight until you reach the top of the rep range again.
79
This applies to all of your lifts.
80
5) RPE means "Rate of Perceived Exertion." This basically basically describes your proximity to failure on the exercise. If we have have prescribed an RPE of 8 for your session,
81
This means you should have 2 reps "left in the tank" or that you could do 2 more reps if you wanted to. An RPE of 10 means it was your max weight you could have used for that specific rep range.
82
RPE 6 = you could do 4 more reps, RPE 7 = you could do 3 more reps, RPE 8 = you could do 2 more reps, RPE 9 = you could do 1 more rep, RPE 10 = you could do 0 more reps.
83
Using RPE is a great way to manage fatigue throughout the training cycle and will allow you to
make the most consistent progress throughout the training cycle.
84
Studies have shown RPE's of 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 to all be sufficently stimulative for adaptations from training to occur. Get those easy gains week 1 with lower RPE's, and then really push
85
for them the further you get into your training cycle and RPE increases to help facilitate more muscle and strength gains as is necessary.
86
6) All Accessory Movements and Compound movements should correspod to the prescribed week's RPE unless otherwise specified.
87
7) You will deload once every 4 weeks on this program, on week 5.
