Reps & Intensity Question

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hello!

I have a question on the Reps & Intensity section of Powerbuilding 1. I’m already at Week 6 and the instruction states: " 1 Rep @ 8 RPE (90-93%), 3 Reps @ 8 RPE (86%) x 1 set.​"

What does the % mean? Are these % of the 1 rep max?

Thanks in advance

Yep, they’re percentages that correlate to a recent 1-Repetition Maximum. Use them as guides, but not the end all, be all.
