RPE Calculator
Enter your 1RM, target RPE, and rep count to get the exact weight to load. What is RPE?
Load for this set
--kg
Target intensity
--%
| RPE | % 1RM |

Autoregulate a top set
Use the calculator as a starting point for a programmed target like 3 reps at RPE 8.5. Warm up, choose a reasonable load, do the set, then let the actual difficulty decide whether the weight was right.
Calculate backoff sets
After a real top set, use the completed performance to choose the next loads. If 170 kg for 3 reps felt like RPE 9, calculate what 3 reps at RPE 7 should look like for backoff work.
This tool is strongest when used reactively. It can suggest loads, but the set you actually performed should override the estimate.
