Quad Eccentric Measured RPE Ceiling
Quad eccentric measured RPE ceiling caps descent workouts and strength lowers at RPE seven to eight—stopping when form breaks or knees twinge sharp, not only when quads burn.
Quad eccentric measured RPE ceiling caps descent workouts and strength lowers at RPE seven to eight—stopping when form breaks or knees twinge sharp, not only when quads burn. Muscular burn can be tolerable; joint sting is a stop signal.
Log RPE after each descent rep block for weekly trends. Chasing eight-minute mile downhills on tired quads invites injury.
