Intermediate Streetlifting Week 1 – Introduction to Weighted Training

⚡ Week 1 – Introduction to Weighted Training

Welcome to weighted Streetlifting. This week introduces weighted Pull-Ups and weighted Dips while maintaining a strong foundation in Squats and recovery.

⚔️ Equipment Required

For weighted Pull-Ups and Dips, a dip belt is strongly recommended. Start conservatively and focus on perfect movement quality.

📚 Understanding RPE

RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) helps you choose the correct training weight regardless of your strength level.

RPE Meaning Reps Left In Reserve
6 Easy 4 Reps Left
7 Moderate 3 Reps Left
8 Hard 2 Reps Left
9 Very Hard 1 Rep Left
10 Maximum Effort 0 Reps Left

Example: If a workout calls for 5×5 @ RPE 7, choose a weight that allows you to complete all 5 reps while feeling like you could still perform approximately 3 more reps if required.
