Research Recap #21 - Using Reps in Reserve in the Gym and Clinic

In this episode, I discuss implementing repetitions in reserve (RIR) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) in the gym and clinic settings.

Reflection questions:

1. How would you anchor reps in reserve?
2. How would you teach reps in reserve to a patient?
3. How would you integrate reps in reserve into a home exercise program?
