You don’t know what rpe 7-8 is you don’t have the experience.I didn't ditch the RPE. I use it to a) adjust my working weight for my primary lift on-the-fly to target a certain rep range and b) track my progress.
Last night's primary lift was barbell bench:
(I wanted to keep the reps higher for the 2nd and 3rd sets but sometimes I can't help myself from going heavier. It's just so fun to add weight when you're gaining strength this fast.)

For secondary exercises I did:
Iso-lat HS decline BP: 3x10 RPE7-8 + 1x2 TF 160 lbs per side
Cable flys at 45 degrees: 3x10 last set TF
Rope pulldown: 3x10 last set TF
Dumbell BP: 3 sets, all TF, 35 lbs
Today I'm running for some legit cardio/metcon. It's going to be fucking painful being 20lbs heavier than I'm used to
You’ve basically wasted effort getting to the reps that build muscle
