How can I use RPE and RIR? The Powerbuilding Podcast

- Fitness
In today's podcast I go over a training technique that I use for general fitness folks, but also for powerlifters and strength and conditioning athletes called RIR and RPE.
Repetitions in Reserve (RIR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) are educational tools for determining the intensity of an exercise.
RIR is the number of repetitions you can do before reaching muscular failure, while RPE is a measure of how hard those repetitions feel.
Those who use these tools effectively can gain insight into their bodies' limits and carefully track progression. Understanding RIR and RPE is key to achieving desired results while avoiding overexertion and safely pushing forward with an exercise program.
