interesting Auto-regulation article

. . should've really titled it "an intro to auto-regulation"

The Science of Autoregulation ? Stronger by Science

Some of the pushback against certain forms of autoregulation comes in the form of the criticism of their subjective nature. Specifically, I’ve heard the argument that training based on how you feel can easily become a rationalization for training hard when you shouldn’t, or wussing out when you should be going harder.

We all know RPE is for weak-ass dweebs like Feigenbaum, Baraki, and Stangl.

Show me one true athlete (powerlifting is not a sport) who uses RPE.

Also, aren't "titration" and auto-regulation almost the same thing?

[Ericreichelt81]

Every athlete in every sport does. It's called game management. You can't play at a 10 non stop. There's about 100,000 examples. Happy?

Titration and auto regulation are not similar. Has your doctor ever told you to auto regulate your prescription? Take 3 zanex@10, Rock on.

Here Eric shows that RPE is not the only auto-regulation tool.

But wait, I've asked for someone to show me an athlete that uses RPE, so Eric didn't show shit.

Here he uses sarcasm, pretending that RPE (@10) is the only auto-regulation tool.

I know that titration does not equal to auto-regulation, numbskull, that's exactly why I've put "quotation marks" on it and also included the "almost" before "the same thing".

Again you prove that you are either too dumb, your reading comprehension sucks a lot (maybe you can subscribe to George C's adult reading comprehension LP), or both.

Now please let the adults answer the question, which was almost rhetorical.

Hamlee, turn your sarcasm detector on.

RPE was "created" by Gunnar Borg when he was working with real athletes, not powerlifters. Anyone who read more than two paragraphs about RPE knows that.
