What the video covers
How many reps should you leave in reserve? RIR 2 = RPE 8: you had two reps left (Zourdos et al., 2016). 0-2 in reserve on isolation and machines. 1-3 in reserve on barbell compound lifts (Robinson, 2024 · Refalo, 2023). Close to failure grows more; full failure adds nothing. The video ends by showing how to create the routine in Progrevia.
