How do you determine your working weights? RPE or percentages?Both methods are valuable:
- RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion): Based on how hard a set feels (e.g., RPE 8 = 2 reps left in the tank).
- Percentage Based: Uses a percentage of your 1-rep max (1RM) to dictate weights.
- Hybrid: Many programs combine both for flexibility and structure.
"Understand your body and your program to choose the best approach."
Which method do you prefer for daily training?
