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.

3 rounds
15/12 Bike Erg
5 Cossack Squats (each side)
10 Kang Squats (empty barbell)
Back Squat (Build to a 1RM @ – RPE 10)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Focus: High bar position. Controlled speed down and up. Stop just before full lockout at the top of each rep for added time under tension on legs.
DB Good Mornings (4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 8)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Take a single DB and turn sideways. Hold the dumbbell in front of the chest by wrapping the arms around and over top of the dumbbell. Maintaining a neutral spine, push the hips back and keep the shins vertical. Lower the chest forward until end ROM is found and return to a vertical position by contracting the hamstrings/glutes.
DB Lunge Walkthroughs (4 sets: 8 reps (each side) – RPE 8)
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Holding two dumbbells, athletes will perform a stepback lunge and then step up and directly into a forward lunge on the same leg. Return to a standing position and repeat on the opposite leg. Weight should allow for control throughout reps. Dumbbell positioning can be adjusted to find the most comfortable, but stable support.
Lying DB Hamstring Curl (4 sets: 8 reps (each side) – RPE 8)
*Rest 1:30-2:00 b/t sets
Focus: Lying face down on a bench, hold a dumbbell between both feet. Athletes may find that it’s easiest to have someone place the dumbbell between their feet rather than trying to load themselves. Extend the legs and curl the weight back to the starting position.

Seated Dumbbell Calf Raise (4 sets: 15-20 reps – RPE 8)
*Rest 1:30-2:00 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Elevate feet so that you can pass below parallel to the floor with the heels. Drive through the big toe at extension. If needed. Use dumbbells on the knees to load this movement *Make sure that platform you have toes on will not flip when loading on edge
