from Mastering Menopause · host Kathy Cote
Jeff Hoehn on RIR/TrainingJeff explained the concept of RIR (Reps in Reserve) as a way to gauge training intensity. RIR refers to the estimated number of additional reps you could perform before reaching muscular failure. The goal is to train with enough intensity to drive muscle growth, but not to the point of failure every set to allow for better recovery and injury prevention.Factors Affecting RIR Accuracy @ 3:45Jeff discussed factors that can impact the accuracy of RIR estimates, including:Participants tend to underestimate RIR by about 1 rep on averageRIR estimates are more accurate when closer to failure vs further awayRIR is more accurate for upper body vs lower body exercisesRIR is more accurate with higher rep sets vs lower rep setsProgressing Training Over Time @ 9:45Jeff explained that progressive overload can be achieved not just by increasing weight, but also by increasing reps within a given rep range. He recommended using rep ranges rather than fixed reps, and gradually increasing reps over time before adding weight. Proper form and technique are also important for continued progress.Follow Jeff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/Join Jump Start for a smart 4 week training program paired with nutrition to get you toned, we begin 5/20/24 https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/jumpstartSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!
