Hey I love your book just have a question. I am new to Powerlifiting but not working out. I don’t understand the whole rpe thing. In the off-season template you have in your book. It says in week 1 5×5 with 1 top set with rpe of 6. In week 5 it says to try and beat weeks 1 top set, but it has an rpe of 7. Wouldn’t an rpe of 7 already beat an rpe of 6? I’m really confused on this.
