Create Custom Set and Rep Schemes With {STMr} – Module 2: Reps-Max Relationship
By Mladen Jovanovic on 15/05/2022This course module will introduce the elementary building block for creating set and rep schemes - the reps-max relationship. The first video in this module deals with some theory and introduces three models to “map out” the relationship between reps to failure and %1RM.

Problem With (Perceived) Reps-In-Reserve
By Mladen Jovanovic on 09/05/2022The use of (perceived) reps-in-reserve (pRIR) in strength training has become one of the most prominent (subjective) auto-regulation methods. Another very common subjective auto-regulation approach that precedes pRIR, involves the use of the rate of perceived effort (or exertion), or RPE.

Create Custom Set and Rep Schemes With {STMr}
By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/04/2022In this course, I will provide you with the necessary knowledge and tools to design your percent-based system. Also, I will explain the theory behind it, and provide detailed instructions on how to do it using the free and open-source tools. For those afraid of the R language, I created an Excel template that you can use instead.
