Reps in Reserve (RIR)

Bryce February 22, 2024
Lesson Progress
0% Complete

Many of the sets you perform will be prescribed an RIR, which is simply a way of specifying how close to technical failure we want you to take a set.

0RIR would be the same thing as technical failure (i.e. you didn’t fail any reps but you had nothing left in the tank) — AMRAP and ALAP also imply 0RIR and technical failure.

We will mostly live between 1-4RIR — anything further than 4RIR is not sufficiently stimulatory for hypertrophy, and 0RIR is reserved for very specific situations.
