Overshooting or undereshooting RPE

Hi Doctors,

Currently running the Bridge v3 and wanted to clarify RPE. The program calls for 5 @ RPE 7,8,9, but instead I got 6.5, 7.5, 9. In hindsight, immediately after undershooting (or overshooting) the RPE, would it have been better to just repeat that set that I missed the prescribed RPE? For example, to do something like the following: 5 @ 6.5 (undershot), 7 (corrected), 7.5 (undershot), 8 (corrected), 9. Perhaps this is needlessly detail-focused, but I just wanted to confirm.

Thanks,
Rafa

By my estimation, you hit the prescribed rep and RPE targets just fine. A half RPE increment is fine. I would not worry about this. Happy training!
