    RPE Is Dead — Here’s What Replaced It (ep.24)

    RPE has become one of the most common tools in powerlifting — and one of the most over-relied upon. In this episode, we explain why RPE as a primary programming tool is effectively dead, what has replaced it in modern coaching, and how experienced coaches now manage dosage, fatigue, and adaptation with less emphasis on RPE numbers. We break down: Why RPE is not a stimulus How force output, velocity, and exposure timing matter more than labels How RPE fits inside a larger coaching model — not at the center of it This episode is for coaches and lifters who want to move beyond RPE charts and start making better programming decisions.
