Neural
Resistance training with 4-6 RPE and 7-9 RPE produce statistically similar bench press strength improvements.
Practitioners can use either 4-6 RPE or 7-9 RPE in resistance training for similar strength gains.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Our findings indicate that resistance training with 4-6 RPE and 7-9 RPE produce statistically similar bench press strength improvements at the given equivalence threshold.
