Effort targets

PROGRAM THE EFFORT, NOT JUST THE WEIGHT

Set a target RPE or reps-in-reserve for any exercise — set by set — so each lift is as hard as it should be, not just a number on the bar.

It's how the research says to train: for hypertrophy, keep most sets within about three reps of failure; for strength, stay one to four reps from it — roughly RPE 6 to 9.

Switch an exercise between percentages, RPE, and RIR whenever the block calls for it.
