WTF is RPE and why does it matter?!
Rate of Perceived Effort = 1-10 scale of how hard you’re actually working.
To build muscle, you need to create those little mechanical tears in the muscle fibres.
I always say… it’s kinda like when you scrape off your callouses—they come back tougher
(gross but true)
That’s literally how the body gets stronger.
If you’re not working hard enough—you’re not growing.
Watch till the end to see what different RPE levels actually look like!
Ps - we learn to push ourselves more over time - as you get more experiences in lifting, as you become more confident in your form, as you track your weights and realise you can hit more reps or weight - so if your RPE 10 doesn’t look quite like a Prôs that’s ok - just think:
If someone had a gun to my head - how many more could I have actually done? 😅🤣👀
