What is Auto-regulation?

Adjusting your training weight or volume based on your daily readiness and fatigue levels.

Auto-regulation is the practice of adjusting your workout on the fly. If you slept poorly, your strength will be down. Instead of forcing a rigid percentage (e.g., 80% of your all-time max), you use metrics like RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) to lift what feels like an 8/10 effort on that specific day.
