e1RM Variability

[skjill]

Here's a programming question for you. I'd ask Andy, but he doesn't do the whole RPE thing. I don't need a precise number, but for an early intermediate whose girlfriend didn't break up with him, how much variability in terms of e1RM would you consider indicative of inappropriate programming?

Depends. Over how long a period of time?

[skjill]

Week to week?

Depends on the lifter and type of program, but ~10% swing is not unusual.
