Expert Insight: RPE Scales Explained
RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is a subjective scale from 1-10 describing how hard a set felt. **The RepLog Standard:** * **@10:** Maximal effort. Could not do another rep. * **@9:** Could do 1 more rep. * **@8:** Could do 2 more reps. * **@7:** Moving fast, could do 3 more reps. Using RPE allows you to auto-regulate. On a bad day, 225lbs might feel like an @9. On a good day, it might be an @7. RPE allows you to adjust the load to match your biology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use RPE?
No, it's optional. You can disable the RPE column in settings if you prefer simple weight x reps.
Is RPE accurate?
It takes practice. We recommend intermediate lifters start by guessing their RPE, then checking the video to verify.
