Mark my words, this guy will be one of the biggest names in the YT-fitness industry some day. Omarisuf, Silent Mike, Calgary Barbell and Brendan Tietz. Who the hell needs school
Awesome video! Couldn’t agree more, perfect example of this would be Hayden Bowe’s deadlifts. First rep always looks rpe10 then precedes to do 5 more reps lmao
amoraboy1 yooo I hella should have used Hayden! I forgot about him. Lol he’s the perfect example of the complete opposite of me hahaha. Hayden is the ultimate grinder
Very helpful, as always, thanks!! And so true! My squats have been so slow (like an unintentional tempo squat) lately but strength wise feel nowhere near failure. I very much related to your footage benching! With the bench press that RPE 10 sneaks up on me 😂
Thanks for this video. I have been running your 12 week submax program for a week (loving it), but I feel I've undershot my rpes a little on the first week. Better to undershoot than over shoot though, right?
I have definitely noticed that the grinding ability between people is fucking crazy. I have a friend that cannot grind for shit, yet I can grind SQ and BP but cannot grind nothing in DL because I will lose position for sure. This grind is the best I have done! https//instagram.com/p/BeycxtRFagu/ "How you feel is a lie" --> If I am not mistaken that statement is refering to an emocional level and not objective. Something can feel horrible yet move just fine. What I do to rate is check how much the speed slowed downs since I started the set and have into account my grinding ability. Great video Brendan!
How does the breathing effect the RPE? If you squat you take more breathes which basically gives you to some extent a bit of a rest, on the bench the pecs are working 24/7 there's no rest position. So the question is are you actually going further/closer than/to RPE 10 because of the squat resting between reps?
Do you have like a weight range in your head when you are going for your top sets based of rpe? Cause I can easily see myself flactuating a lot with the weights I'm able to lift based on how I feel. I know thats one of the main points of rpe, but how am I supposed to incorporate progressive overload into it, by increasing backoff work and using the top set just as a tool to practice lift with higher intensity or is there something else to it? Just wondering whats your exact mindset. Also, seems to me that people can easily mess up their training block if they overshoot too often without enough experience which you kinda pointed out anyway.
Let's say you are doing 3x3 @ RPE 8. Do you adjust each set to be RPE 8 - for example, start at 405x3, drop to 395x3, and finish at 385x3? Or do you aim to have the last set = RPE 8?
@@SinnedNogara I'm not sure that's the case. For a lot of people, especially if they don't have a high work capacity, their ability to maintain the intensity is going to decrease as the sets increase. Especially if it's a very high volume hypertrophy Block. I've asked similar questions. From what I understand, you should adopt the weight (if needed) to continue having the same rpe throughout all sets. That's the whole concept of rpe I think. Either it's going to be linear, IE, that you can do the same way for the same rpe for all sets. Or, if you think you cannot maintain it, if you were to start with a lighter weight on the first set so you end up with the right rpe at the end, then the first few sets will be a much lower rpe.
@@daytonasayswhat9333 I've noticed that typically lifters that have issues with maintaining RPE usually just got off of novice LP and have never done higher reps. In that case start doing basic GPP. I will say that doing a high rep set at a high RPE is very hard to maintain the same weight (10@9). In that case drop 5%
@@SinnedNogara I see. Yeah, I think the lower you go and grab closer to 1, the more accurate and easy to manipulate rpes. As you go higher up, it's just that much more difficult to determine the failure point.
Would video recording an amrap set as reference for what our own reps look like be a good idea e.g a 5-10 rep max. Or will rpe look different with different loads
