RPE stands for Rating of Perceived Exertion and is a way of measuring how difficult a set feels.

  • RPE 6: approximately four repetitions remaining
  • RPE 7: approximately three repetitions remaining
  • RPE 8: approximately two repetitions remaining
  • RPE 9: approximately one repetition remaining
  • RPE 10: maximum effort with no further repetitions possible

The estimator uses RPE to account for how challenging your working sets are.
