Ep.16 | Percentages, Ranges, or RPE, Which Programming Method is Best?

from Fortis After Hours Podcast · host Nate & Liz Ribaudo

Send us Fan MailChasing strength isn’t about guessing the heaviest plate math you can survive today. It’s about picking the right load for the right stimulus so you stack clean reps, build confidence, and show up stronger next week. We dig into the three big ways Powerlifting coaches like to load training: percentages, ranges, and RPE. We break down each method and share where it shines, and where it falls apart.If you want steady strength gains, fewer misses, and cleaner reps that carry to the platform, this conversation gives you the framework: use percentages for basic structure and beginners, ranges for a more tailored approach, and RPE for intelligent auto-regulation. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a training partner, and leave a quick review so more lifters can find it.
