Percent-Repetition Chart

I was looking to create a neat percent-repetitions table for the quick reference when I
compare various percent-based and auto-regulatory programs out there. This could help
with judging and evaluating the buffer of each set or proximity to failure, hardmedium-easy days, weekly progression and differences in intensity, intensiveness,
volume and frequency program designs.
I combined data from works of Dan Baker, Cal Dietz, Mike Tuchscherer, Joe Kenn and
Prilepin. I needed to fit their data to the table format, thus some of the percents and
reps are slightly modified.
As you can see there is a difference between authors. Of course certain guidelines are
used for different purposes Prilepin is used with weightlifting, Tuchscherer with
powerlifting and that creates a difference. Hence the purpose of the table: to have
everything at one spot. Thus, if you are looking for high quality reps you can use Prilepin
or RPE8-7 of Tuchscherer.
Please note that these are just guidelines and the relationships changes in certain
situations: (1) men vs. women (women are generally able to do more reps at the same
percentage), (2) advanced vs. beginners (beginners are generally able to do more reps
at the same percentage), (3) fast twitch vs. slow twitch individuals (slow twitch athletes
can usually do more reps at the same percentage), (4) muscle mass involved in the
exercise (more muscle mass involved, less reps at certain percentage for example
squats vs. military press) and many others. So take this only as a guideline.
