Convert reps in reserve into useful target weights. The notes below show the assumptions behind that recommendation.
Convert reps in reserve into useful target weights. RPE is common in strength training. RIR is easier for many hypertrophy lifters: how many clean reps did you have left?
Convert reps in reserve into useful target weights. The notes below show the assumptions behind that recommendation.
RPE = 10 - RIR. RIR 0 is RPE 10, RIR 1 is RPE 9, RIR 2 is RPE 8, and RIR 3 is RPE 7.
RIR keeps the focus on repeatable hard sets. You can train close enough to failure without turning every set into a max-effort test.
The tool estimates e1RM from your recent set, then calculates the load that matches your target reps and target RIR.
RIR is only useful when reps are clean and range of motion is consistent. Treat uncertain RIR as lower-confidence data.
Subtract RIR from 10. For example, 2 RIR equals RPE 8.
Neither is magic. RIR is often simpler for hypertrophy because it asks how many clean reps were left.
Estimates e1RM from the logged set, then converts target reps plus target RIR into a rounded load recommendation.
RIR works best when the set used clean reps and the lifter can honestly estimate reps left in reserve.
Inputs are handled in the browser for the web tool experience. Jacked should only store lifting data when a user chooses to log it in the app.
Jacked does it for your whole workout: next-set targets, RIR, rest timing, warm-ups, PRs, and progress feedback.
