Greetings all, but excuse me while I just hash out some math on the web here. I mistakenly trained Dr. Bravo yesterday without having her note book up in my face. I am pretty damn sure she PR'd in her 10:00 barbell press block.
May 15 10:00 block
Barbell press 1RM = 65lbs.
Volume: 18 reps over 6 sets = 990 lbs.
Intensity: 55lbs for every rep = 85% relative intensity
Density: Ten Minutes
May 28 10:00 block
Volume: 26 reps over 3 sets and 1,300 lbs. PR
Intensity: 77% = 50 lbs. for each rep
Density: 10:00
Next time, if it tests well, we'll break that volume by 30%. 1,300 = 30% = 1,690. 1,690/45 lbs = 38 reps with just the bar. Nah, she deserves a pull up. We'll crank intensity if if tests well. 90% intensity = 58 lbs.
We'll see.
Cool eh? The rest of the data is at the studio, and when I have a chance to blog it i will. She squatted for about 20:00 before this and also did 5:00 of snatches with a 16kg afterwards. She obeyed the EOE for her snatches, and still cranked out 71. She was all tripped out because she didn't get 100. I told her that even after a big barbell session she could crank out 71 with a 16kg bell without her breathing, alignment, or tension going south. It's actually quite impressive, I told her.
Enough about that! Have you heard Diamond Eyes yet? If you do not know what I am referring too, go listen to White Pony first, and then come back. Only then will you be allowed to listen to Diamond Eyes.
Indeed I tripped! So to prove it to myself today I entered Murphy gym with my trusty 16kg and snatched 100 in 4:46. All the resting slowed me down.
