My current program has all that RPE shit you post about. Anything RPE 9/10 is fucking brutal.
HA HA....sorry about that. I can't stand the RPE thing myself. I do agree, anything that high sucks balls.
My workout earlier this week was :
1rd every 10 mins for 4 rounds.
400m run
30 cal rogue echo bike
400m run
(you rest for whatever time you have left in the 10 mins....in my case....I MAYBE got 2 - 2 1/2 mins rest each round). That 2nd 400m is like running in water.
Another day it was
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Deadlift @275
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Bench @ 185
Got it done in 9:22....fucking brutal. (so you do 1 dead, then 10 bench, 2 dead, then 9 bench, etc)
