Article: Understanding RPE

# Understanding RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)

RPE is a simple way to measure how hard a set feels on a scale of 1-10.

## The Scale

| RPE | Description | Reps Left |
|-----|-------------|-----------|
| 6   | Light warmup | 4+ |
| 7   | Could do 3 more | 3 |
| 8   | Could do 2 more | 2 |
| 9   | Could do 1 more | 1 |
| 10  | Maximum effort | 0 |

## Why Use RPE?

1. **Auto-regulation** - Adjust weight based on daily readiness
2. **Consistency** - Same effort across different days
3. **Communication** - Describe intensity precisely

## How Mo Uses RPE

Mo tracks your RPE to:
- Detect fatigue trends
- Know when you're ready to progress
- Suggest appropriate weights

## Key Takeaways

- RPE 7-8 is ideal for most working sets
- RPE 9-10 is for testing or special occasions
- If RPE trends up without weight increase, you're fatiguing
