If you think small then small is what you'll get. I speak calmly and with NO DOUBT in my tone or voice when I tell the people my level of expectation versus their Perceived Rates of Exertion.
They may give it a number too high and I will respond with, "No...that can't be right. That last lift was far too easy. Put another plate on!" But then, I expect them to lift it.
95% of the time they will advance the weight and do the reps and then tell me their PRE was the same number that they gave me prior at the lighter weight.
EXPECT MORE and you will GET MORE.
