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

Athletes Notes

Hamstring Gliders

Set Up:

Stand upright on one leg (the “support leg”).

The other leg (the “sliding leg”) is the one that will slide back and forth.

The sliding foot is placed on the glider device.

Movement:

From a near‑standing (slightly bent knee) position, slide the non‑support leg backward, extending the knee while keeping that leg’s foot in contact and sliding.

As you slide it back, your supporting-leg hamstring (on the front of that leg) is doing eccentric (lengthening) work to control.

Once you reach some endpoint (as far as you can go while maintaining form and control), you then slide the leg back forward (i.e. flexing knee) to the start.

Throughout, keep your posture upright, core tight, and avoid letting your hips twist or sag.

Tibia Raises

Stand upright with your back against a wall and feet a few inches in front of you. Keep your heels planted on the ground. Lift your toes up as high as you can, pulling them toward your shins. Pause at the top, then lower slowly back down. Repeat for reps.

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.
