What are your thoughts concerning RPE / intensity targets for the various barbell lifts and as well as volume prescriptions? The latter question is obviously the one addressed by Prilepin’s chart. Given the weaknesses of that chart and the usefulness of RPEs for dealing with such matters, when is it appropriate to vary your RPE targets? Similarly, do you look to program higher RPEs for pressing movements vs the squat and deadlift as the latter seem to be inherently more fatiguing?
Thank you.
