Workout Routine

Full body split

by fabiansmith

When you increase the number of reps per set, the percentage of your 1RM you'll use typically decreases. The exact percentages can vary based on individual factors, but here are some general guidelines for sets of 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 reps with 1-3 RIR:

Sets of 5 reps:

  • 1 RIR: Approximately 85-90% of 1RM
  • 2 RIR: Approximately 80-85% of 1RM
  • 3 RIR: Approximately 75-80% of 1RM

Sets of 6 reps:

  • 1 RIR: Approximately 80-85% of 1RM
  • 2 RIR: Approximately 75-80% of 1RM
  • 3 RIR: Approximately 70-75% of 1RM

Sets of 8 reps:

  • 1 RIR: Approximately 75-80% of 1RM
  • 2 RIR: Approximately 70-75% of 1RM
  • 3 RIR: Approximately 65-70% of 1RM

Sets of 10 reps:

  • 1 RIR: Approximately 70-75% of 1RM
  • 2 RIR: Approximately 65-70% of 1RM
  • 3 RIR: Approximately 60-65% of 1RM

Sets of 12 reps:

  • 1 RIR: Approximately 65-70% of 1RM
  • 2 RIR: Approximately 60-65% of 1RM
  • 3 RIR: Approximately 55-60% of 1RM

These are ballpark figures. Depending on the individual, muscle group being trained, training history, and other factors, you might find that you can lift a bit more or less than the percentages suggested for a given RIR. Use these as starting points, but be prepared to adjust based on your personal experience and how the weights feel during your sets.
