Strength Cycle Week 1 Day 5

Push/Pull

Weights for this will be determined by how you feel that day.  We will NOT be basing it off a %. we will use a RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion).

What is perceived exertion?

In the world of fitness, there’s a scale called Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) that ranges from 1-10. RPE basically involves asking yourself, “on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is this activity right now?”.

For example, for a RPE of 5 out 10.  The weights should be minimally challenging, allowing you to focus on your position and technique.
