Recently we have been telling you guys to work at a perceived exertion rate. If the workout is long, then we tell you to work at 80-85%. If we do a short workout, then we tell you to go 100%, If it’s an interval workout, then we tell you to go just under the redline (90-97%). For those that are more visual, Coach Steve put a picture on the board that explains perceived exertion to the “t”. For today’s workout, we want you to go 100%, aka go so hard you think you might die!

  1. 0 is dead or sleeping and 100 is fighting for your life. sitting in your desk chair is somewhere around 20.

    Nice representation, Steve. (Ps I hope you’re feeling better.)

    I tried using “the pain is the adaptation” as a mantra but in the thick that kept getting shortened to “pain!”…so now I just try doing one more rep when i feel like I might die.
