Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

39: RPE, 1 RM, 3 sets of 10, oh my?


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 39 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Sarah takes a trip back in time to find out: Where did the ubiquitous 3x10 come from? It’s a wild ride that takes her down more than one rabbit hole and brings us face to face with 1RM, RPE, RIR, and everything else with an R in it.

You will learn:

  • Where did the 3 x 10 protocol come from
  • How 3 x 10 has changed over time, in a significant departure from what it originally contained: progressive overload
  • How long held beliefs around effort level and pain created a rehab emphasis on volume over effort
  • Where RPE came from
  • The RPE - RIR relationship
  • Pros and Cons of using RPE - RIR versus 1RM in your strength training
