RPE Scale (Time-Based)

Time-Based

RPE Scale

Try to get a sense for how much longer you could have hung for at the end of each hang/set. Initially it t will feel like you are making up numbers, however over time you will be able to get fairly close to your actual max. Target RPE range will vary depending on the protocol. As a rule of thumb:

RPE PERCEIVED EXERTION
6 warm-up weight / definitely 4 more seconds
6.5 maybe 4 more seconds
7 definitely 3 more seconds
7.5 maybe 3 more seconds
8 definitely 2 more seconds
8.5 maybe 2 more seconds
9 definitely 1 more seconds
9.5 maybe 1 more seconds
