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.

  1. 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.

    Today's protocol:
    20L, 20R
    rest
    15L, 15R
    rest
    10L, 10R
    rest
    5L, 5R
    done!
