(RE: Athlean-X, Doucette, Nippard, Herman) In today's video I'm sharing my thoughts on the whole RPE training discussion that quite a few channels have been talking about lately. Athlean X made a video ("6 Reasons You’re NOT Building Muscle FIXED!") where he referred to RPE as a "really poor excuse". Jeff Nippard made a response video supporting the use of RPE ("Is RPE Actually Killing Your Gains? Response to Athlean-X & Critics"), and Greg Doucette ("Jeff Nippard || Clearing The Air || Saving Face - DO WE AGREE with RPE???") and Scott Herman ("Can You REALLY Utilize" RPE" To Build Muscle? || RESPONSE TO NIPPARD & ATHLEAN-X") also weighed in as well. What is RPE? RPE stands for "rating of perceived exertion" and is basically a way to measure how hard you're training on each set on a scale of 1 to 10, or in other words, how close to failure you're going. Aside from the RPE scale, the other way this is measured is using RIR (reps in reserve) which is the inverse of RPE. For example, 2 RIR would mean you are stopping 2 reps short of failure. Whether you use RPE vs. RIR is just a matter of preference. So, is RPE or RIR necessary to build muscle? Or is RPE KILLING your gains? How hard should you train to build muscle as effectively as possible? Should you train to failure or stop a few reps short? In this video I'll give my thoughts on the issue of training intensity and show some examples as well. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Enjoy.
