How to Activate RPE/RiR in Your Workouts

As a Premium user, you can log Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) or Reps in Reserve (RiR) in your workouts. This is a short guide on how to activate the function in the app.

Tap the three dots next to your set, handle set, and choose if you want to activate RPE or RiR.
Here you can see that I’ve activated RPE for my last two set in the bench press.

  2. Tap Handle set and choose whether you want to log RPE or RiR, and click on the desired switch to activate it.

If you are trying to activate RPE/RiR on a set in the middle of your working set, the app will ask you whether to activate for all the following sets; see below.
