I am going into my 3rd week in the Beginners Program. This is how I progressed the weight from week 1 to 2. Please let me know if this is correct.
I plugged my weights that I lifted with an RPE of 8 from week 1 into the Estimated 1RM Calculator. I then added 5-10% to the weight from week 1 and used them for week 2.
This all worked well except for the squat which I overestimated the weight and had to stop at the second set that was supposed to be an RPE 7 but felt like a 9. So I went on to the next exercise.
