Neural
Combined bench press, squat, and deadlift volumes were significantly higher with greater RPE stop reductions.
Higher volume training can be achieved by adjusting RPE stops.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Combined weekly bench press volume was significantly higher in accordance with load reduction magnitude (2% > 4% > 6%; p ≤ 0.05), combined squat volume was greater in 6 vs. 2% (p ≤ 0.05), and combined deadlift volume was greater in 6 vs. 2% and 4% (p ≤ 0.05).
