Reps In Reserve 101

How hard should you actually train to build muscle and strength - without overdoing it?

This workshop breaks down Reps in Reserve (RIR) - a smarter, more sustainable way to train hard enough without hitting failure every session.

We’ll cover:

• What RIR is and how to use it

• Why fixed rep targets don’t work for bodyweight training

• Why we stop at 1–2 reps from failure

• How to feel the “sweet spot” for growth

• How RIR naturally guides progression

This is the method that makes your training more effective, more consistent, and less exhausting - especially if you train at home and want results without burnout.
