In Episode 8 of the Undeniable Conversations podcast, we discuss loading percentages, specifically how to choose the appropriate load for any workout. We provide some rough percentages you might use to match workout descriptions:

  • Max—90-100% of 1RM
  • Heavy—80-90%
  • Moderate—60-80%
  • Light—40-60% (Or less)

Just because you can go “Rx” doesn’t mean you should! Choose the appropriate load for you and the intended stimulus of the workout.
