Bodybuilding RPE Scale

RPE 1-3 || This should be a weight that an athlete can move with ease throughout the intended rep range.

RPE 4-5 || This is a weight that provides a moderate amount of resistance but the athlete feels like they could double the intended rep range with the weight they chose

RPE 6-7 || This is a moderate-moderate/heavy weight for the athletes. This should provide a challenge for the intended rep range but should not be something that they are worried of failing. The rest needed between sets should be minimal.

RPE 8-9 || This is a near maximal effort for the intended rep range. Athletes should need and want adequate amount of rest between the sets at this RPE.

RPE 10 || This is a max effort for the intended rep range. The athlete should be fully taxed at the end of each set.

Scap Pull Ups

Bent Over Barbell Row

Iron Cross

Down Dog/ Seal Pose Transition
Focus: Effort should be easy building into moderate. Get yourself moving and opened up for upcoming work.

Strict Pull-ups

*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets

Focus: Control should be shown across sets. Athlete should keep core engaged and avoid kipping. Band across rig is encouraged if strict reps are not possible and should be set at a height that allows for desired number of rep but no more. If using a band, make note of the hole that you are placing the back across the rig to keep consistency on resistance assistance across workouts.
4 sets: 8 Reps โ€“ 65% of 1RM (deload)

*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets

**Score = weight added to your strict pull ups.

If completing these as bodyweight pull up or banded pull up, log score as 0. Comment in your score box weight of any band used!

Body Row on Racked Barbell

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

*Build to a moderate weight, stay the same or build across sets

Focus: Set up a bar at waist height. It is advised to secure the bar to the rig with bands on either side so that bar will not unrack during sets. Approach bar from inside of rig. Extend legs out and grab bar from underneath, assuming a solid plank position. Pull towards the bar, making contact just below the sternum. Adjust feet as needed for correct position. Difficulty should allow for solid reps without โ€œkippingโ€ reps. Raise height of the bar to decrease difficulty. Feet can be placed on a bench or stacked plates to increase difficulty.
3 sets: 15 Reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Lat Pulldowns

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

*Build to a moderate weight, stay the same or build across sets

Focus: On a seated lat pull machine, position body so knees are locked under the leg pad and arms are extended overhead. With an overhand grip, focus on a strong contraction of the back/pulling back with the elbow not the hands. Bar should come right below the chin to the top of the chest. Slight lean back is acceptable to get shoulders in a down and back position. If you do not have access to a lat pulldown, attach a PVC pipe to a pullup bar via two bands and perform this movement. ALWAYS INSPECT BANDS FOR SIGNS OF POTENTIAL BREAKAGE BEFORE USING.
3 sets: 15 Reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Ring Curls

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Focus: Setup a pair of rings so bottom of ring is at the top of the hips. Lean back with an overhand grip so that body is around 45-60 from horizontal. Adjust feet/ring height until a comfortably challenging position can be achieved. Curl with the arms (turning from the overhand to underhand grip) with a focus on bringing the rings towards the face or slightly outside of the face. Control the descent to full extension.
3 sets: 15 Reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Standing KB Crush Grip Bicep Curl

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets

Focus: In a standing position, take a KB and grasp it between both hands around the bell portion (not the handles). Palms will be facing each other on either side of the bell. Be mindful of the positioning of the handles so they donโ€™t hit the face. Curl the KB up and then lower, stopping just before tension is lost in the biceps.
3 sets: 15 Reps – RPE 7

*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
