is it only me that it feels like when i pull say 405 it looks like around rpe maybe 7.5-8, but it''ll feel like rpe 9. is there a way to help this or would i just have to learn how to gauge myself better?
Definitely gauge yourself better. That’s why a lot of lifters use speed tracking devices to track bar speed. It gives them a true RPE based on their collected data over time instead of based on their perception.
I noticed this too when I first started using RPE. I have pushed myself harder since to make the sets LOOK like the prescribed RPE as I am getting more out of my training this way. It might not work for you though so worth giving it a try in a block and see what numbers you are getting at then end of it.
If you’re new to RPE then give it some time and you’ll get better at it. Being new to RPE and if you’re newer to lifting or powerlifting you might be able to incorporate some heavier AMRAPs toward the end of a mid-range volume block to help gather data. If you have a block where you’re working in the 3-6 rep range (or anything moderately heavy for reps) then taking a set to failure at the end of the block can help show you what failure really feels like and maybe help redefine what RPE 9 feels like for you. Some people, usually lighter weight lifters, have a really sharp drop off in strength so what looks like a 7 might actually be a 9 like you’re feeling but heavier AMRAPs should be able to give you that data. If you’ve been using RPE for a while and were good at it once but you feel like there’s a disconnect recently then it’s usually best to go with what you feel and let a video guide you within +/-0.5 RPE. (If it felt like an 8 but moved better than you thought then maybe 7.5, or if worse maybe 8.5). It also depends on what rep range/intensity this is happening in. If you have been using RPE for a bit and it’s happening on higher rep sets then you may need to focus on building work capacity with volume focused training phases. If it happens with lower rep ranges then there may be some programming adjustments you can make to perform more consistently. But programming changes are usually only warranted if you’re relatively familiar with using RPE
Been a fan of you for a the past couple of years now and I’m excited to finally see you overcome the challenges you faced and dominate Nationals 😤
Loving these regular uploads man!
Bro is an absolute unit all these lifts looking absolutely fantastic
0:03 love that

Happens to me too especially in a long session. You have to trust your Orm to know you can do more.

love you sean
3:03 those some sweet elephants, good work
Why don’t you use the Titan lever belt for squat anymore?
Sean just sounds like a wise ass guy
mans went into MIT, he is, brodie.
@@catedoge3206 that’s already
implied… but thank you mr. Smart ass
Spoke that 600 x 3 into existence
nice
Why did you reupload
Because he took down the first upload
I had not edited out the first take at the intro
@@seannoriega1024 I saw it and got so confused when you started repeating yourself lmao
