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.

Lying Heel Taps (per side)
Cat/Cows
Weighted Hip Thrust
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets
Focus: Set up and brace a bench to prevent it from tipping. Put a hip halo just above your knees drive out on the band throughout the movement. Using either a barbell or heavy dumbbell across the hips, place the upper back on the bench. Place feet squat width apart and drive through the heels to elevate the hips until extension is reached. Keep the glutes engaged during entire extension to prevent overextension of the lower back. Use an extra t-shirt or towel to provide padding if barbell/dumbbell is uncomfortable when loaded.
5 sets: 8 Reps – @ 50%
All reps at 52X0 Tempo (5 seconds down, 2 sec pause at the bottom, explode up, no pause at the top)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
Alt Double DB Step Back Lunges (Front Rack)
*Rest 2:00-2:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across
Focus: Athlete will use two dumbbells and rack them somewhere on the shoulders. Step back, touching the back knee to the floor, and stand. Use a weight that will allow for stable, controlled movement across sets.
4 sets: 10 reps (each side) – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
GHD Hip Extension
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Focus: Set up GHD so hips are slightly past the hip pad. Go down to 90 degrees and raise to parallel. Avoid using excessive momentum to complete reps and squeeze glutes at the top of each rep. If you do not have access to a GHD you can sub Barbell Good Mornings.
4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
Single Leg DB Hip Thrust
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets to the opposite side. Keep dumbbell centered over the hips the entire time.
Focus: It is advised to set up your bench so that it is braced against a rig or upright to prevent tipping. Place the upper back on the bench and both feet next to each other, flat on the floor. Place a dumbbell laterally across the hips. Position the feet far enough from the bench, so that when hips are extended, shins will be vertical. When correct foot placement is found, extend one leg forward and squeeze glutes slightly so that a neutral pelvis can be maintained throughout the entire movement. The extended, non-working leg is ok to touch the floor between reps but should not aid during the hip thrust rep. Drive through the foot of the working leg, squeezing the glute to extend the hip. Return down to the starting position and repeat all reps on that side before switching to the opposite side. Keep dumbbell centered over the hips the entire time.
4 sets: 10 reps – RPE 7
*Rest 1:00-1:30 b/t sets
