The Bridge 2.0 template has both RPE and %1RM guidelines and I am confused as sometimes they do not align.
One of the prescriptions is
1@8 (90-93% 1RM)
5@8 (70-75% 1RM)
My question is that the prescribed lifts %1RM in the template differ from the RPE chart.
The RPE chart lists 1@8 as 92.2% (which is right in the range of 90-93% as prescribed)
BUT The RPE chart lists 5@8 as 81.1% which is significantly higher the prescribed 70-75% 1RM.
I guess what I am asking is should my weight more closely follow the RPE, or the %1RM guidelines? I assume it’s slightly lower %1RM because of fatigue generated from the 1@8.
Any input would be appreciated. I am someone who tends to overshoot RPE and I don’t want to overdue it as I transition to the Bridge 2.0 in about a week.
