Workout B
- Squat 285 pounds 3x5, RPE 7
- Press 135 pounds 3x5, RPE 7
- Deadlift 295 pounds 1x5, RPE 8
I came across a podcast on what to document in a training log and I decided I needed to add some more information. One piece of information that I will now include is the RPE for each exercise. RPE is the “rate of perceived exertion” and is a subjective measure of the effort needed to complete a set at a given weight. This should help me keep track of my levels of fatigue and if I need to change to facilitate better recovery. For example, if I notice my RPE fluctuating up and down during linear progression, I may notice a pattern in my diet or sleep that could contribute to some training sessions being harder than others
