Welcome back to Iron Sights! In this episode, I brought Caleb Disney and Jeff Chenault back into the studio to discuss perceived exertion and the RPE & RIR scales. We begin the episode by talking about the benefits of how using these scales during exercise can be a great way to gauge how hard you should be pushing yourself in the gym. Here's the problem: for novice and intermediate lifters there are OTHER things to focus on with regards to your training that are far more important than fine-tuning intensity. Using RIR & RPE in your programming could be a poor way to leverage intensity for muscle growth and adaptation. After listening to this episode you will understand the why behind RPE & RIR as well as be able to implement intensity the right way through following a strategic program designed for maximal RESULTS specific to your goals.More Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394sTRAIN WITH US:RDF Online Training: https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-coachingCONNECT WITH US:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ironsightspodLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironsightspodcast
