Workout tracker with RPE and RIR
Record effort and reps left over as two different things, because on most sets they are.
One set, two numbers
Two squat sets logged with both ratings. A triple at 140 kg is marked RPE 9 with 1 rep in reserve, where ten minus the RPE happens to give the right answer. A set of fifteen at 100 kg is marked RPE 8 with 4 reps in reserve, where it does not.
Most trackers keep a single effort field and relabel it. That is fine at the top of the range, where a set of three at RPE 9 plainly left one rep. It stops being fine on back-off sets and accessories, where the burn and the reps left over are simply not the same measurement. Both fields are optional on every set, so a log can carry one, the other, or neither.
Two fields, neither derived
RPE is how hard the set felt. Reps in reserve is how many you had left. Both sit on the set, and filling one in does not fill in or overwrite the other.
They come apart on long sets
The usual shorthand, reps in reserve being ten minus RPE, holds up on heavy low-rep work and drifts everywhere else. A hard set of fifteen can read as an eight and still leave four reps. Storing one number and calculating the other throws that difference away.
Both travel
RPE and reps in reserve come across in an import and go back out in the export, alongside weight, reps, distance, duration, notes and set kind.
