DON'T LEAVE GAINS ON THE TABLE
Many of you are entering a strength phase within your personal programs and MUST understand this is what I mean by AMRAP or a RPE of 8+-10.
This video shows me going to failure on my last set of this lovely cyclist squats. I MAYBE could have done 1 more. That was the goal.
Notice the reps slowing down for the last 3. I wasn't even counting reps for my sets on this exercise because it was AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) with an RPE of 9-10, aka failure.
When you have a 7-8 RPE, this means you still should be getting close to failure, but leaving about 3-4 reps in resevere.
This is important because this is the intensity you must reach if you have desire to grow muscle and strength. If you don't ever reach this effort, your body doesn't get the signal to adapt. (Talking about 8+,9,10 & Failure)
Not every exercise will be like this, but the ones that are programmed at this RPE are intentionally based on your individual goals.
From stronger runs to better booty's, they serve a major purpose. This is my job to know when to give you these and when to dial back.
This is the difference of seeing results in the next 3 months or waiting a whole year after playing around in the gym.
Yea, it's very uncomfortable and it hurts. But that's why you are here (in the gym). Embrace that suck, eat your protein and get after it!
