RPE and reps in reserve. Reps in reserve counts how many more reps you could have done. RPE rates the same effort out of 10, so RPE 8 means two reps in reserve and RPE 10 means none. The percentages are estimates from a standard rep formula, and they vary from person to person and from lift to lift.
In Liftr. You can record RPE or reps in reserve with every set you log.
