Hello,
I am starting on the endurance template and it is my first foray into RPE. So far so good but one quick question: is it OK (or advised) to adjust the weight intra-set?
For example lets say I am on OHP, working set of 5@ RPE 8x3.
First set of 5 feels like an 8 but the second set feels like a 9. Is it advisable to go ahead and lower the weight for the final set to preserve RPE 8 ?
Inversely if my working sets are feeling lighter as I go should I up the weight to preserve the prescribed RPE?
I have found this to be true mainly during OHP, sometimes they feel easier as I go and other times they feel harder. I have been adjusting the weight to keep the RPE inline but wanted to see what you all recommend.
