Each episode Thomas and Danny explore all things lifting, rehab, and fitness.

    In this episode, we break down the Rate of Perceived Exertion; where it came from, how it was brought into lifting and powerlifting, and how it can practically be applied to your training. Whether you’re a beginner trying to gauge effort or a seasoned lifter fine-tuning your training, this one’s all about learning to lift smarter, not just heavier.
