RPE vs. % 1RM in females vs. males?

Training Q&A [Moderated]

Hi! My first question here :slight_smile:

I am just wondering. One hears all the time that women can do reps much closer to their max than males. Would that not mean that the RPE vs. % 1Rm table should be different for males and females?

Hey there.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for your question.

By chance, have you listened to our last few programming podcasts? You might find the answer to your question there :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile:
As a matter of fact I did… but I must have missed it… any hints as to which episode to re-listen to? :slight_smile:
I love that content by the way! It is such a sobering attitude.

(Let me know if you need help with that CRISPRing though… )

Mainly the material related to our concept of the “athletic spectrum”.

It was either the first one or the second one.

Thanks! I’ll take a listen again :slight_smile:
