RPE, Elbow Pain & Training Timing: What Actually Matters for Progress - March 2026 Q&A: If you’ve ever questioned your RPE, dealt with elbow irritation from pulling work, or felt like your training schedule isn’t “ideal,” this session will give you clarity.

In this Q&A, we break down how to actually learn RPE using video feedback, how to adjust chin-up and pull-up volume when elbow pain shows up, and how to think about training at different times of day without overcomplicating it.

The goal is not perfect conditions. It’s about adapting training to your life demands. Watch this, then take one thing you can immediately apply to your training this week.

When Should You Actually Change Your Program? April 2026 Q&A:  One of the most common questions lifters ask is whether they should be doing more exercises within a training session, training more frequently, or adding volume or intensity.

In this Q&A session, we break down why more is not always better and how to know when your program is actually working.

We walk through a real client case to show how effective programming is built around structure, recovery, and progression, not just adding “more”.

Inside this session, we cover:

• How to structure a flexible training split that adapts to real life

• Why you should not “make up” missed sessions

• When to swap exercises vs when to stay the course

• How to use RPE, bar speed, and estimated 1RM to assess progress

• Why most lifters change their program too early and stall progress

If you have ever second-guessed your program or felt like you should be doing more (or maybe less!), this Q&A Replay will give you a clear framework to make better decisions and stay consistent.

Understanding RPE, E1RM Trends, & Training Around Travel May 2026 Q&A: In this Q&A session, we answered a member question about RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) tracking within the Sustainable Training Builder and discussed how to use training data to make better programming decisions.

Topics covered include:

• Why individual exercise RPE values are not tracked over time in the same way as estimated 1RM (E1RM)

• The difference between using RPE for short-term decision making versus long-term progress analysis

• How session RPE is calculated and why it provides a better picture of accumulated training stress

• Why estimated 1RM trends are more useful than historical exercise RPE values for evaluating strength progress

• What normal fluctuations in session RPE look like over time

• How to interpret training stress trends without overreacting to week-to-week changes

• Practical strategies for maintaining training consistency during travel, busy work periods, and schedule disruptions

• When and how to combine lifts into a single training session to preserve training frequency

This Q&A provides valuable insight into how we use RPE, recovery data, and performance trends to make programming decisions and evaluate progress over time. If you've ever wondered how to interpret your training logs or what metrics actually matter, this recording will help you understand the bigger picture.
