RPE Scale (No Measure)

We want the programmed RPE to be based off of our first few sets. Naturally as we get later into the sets what once felt like a 5/10 RPE will begin to get more difficult, but should remain doable and safe for all sets.

**RPE = Rate of Perceived Exertion**

RPE 10 = 0 reps left (max effort)

RPE 9.5 = Maybe 1 rep left

RPE 9 = 1 rep left

RPE 8.5 = 1-2 reps left

RPE 8 = 2 reps left

RPE 7 = 3 reps left

RPE 6.5 = 4 reps left

RPE 6 = 6+ reps left

RPE 5.5 = 8+ reps left

RPE 5 = 10+ reps left

Lying DB Hamstring Curl (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

*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.

Mayhem Mini Pump

Mini Pump Sessions are used as a supplement to another Mayhem Athlete track or on days when you are pressed for time and cannot complete the full day’s bodybuilding session as programmed. You should NOT complete today’s bodybuilding program AND the Mini pump session. Choose one or the other. These are very similar to “Mini Pumps” in the past. Now they will vary a bit more with reps, sets, rest time, etc.
