Prescribing Strength Training for Team Sports – Part 4

In this video, I will discuss the Percent-Based Approach to prescription. There are a few major problems with it:

One needs to know individual 1RMs
Even if we know exercise 1RM, we do not know the Reps-Max Relationship
Even if we know these, how do we prescribe progressions?
How do we deal with day-to-day variability?

But I still believe that the percent-based approach is simple enough, if used smartly, to be a satisfactory solution in the real, complex world. It is still VERY useful as an estimate of the ballpark weights for the VBT and subjective approaches.

Velocity-Based Training: Signal vs. Noise

This is a R workbook using my older bench press data, in which I want to discuss Signal vs. Noise of Velocity-Based Training (VBT) measurements. This could be used for future reliability studies. The goal is to compare within-individual variations of velocity over load-velocity relationship (noise) with smallest practical velocity difference (in my opinion difference in velocities across nRM,…

How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training – Part 1: Testing

When it comes to traditional strength training prescription (a.k.a percent based approach) one uses his latest 1RMs and prescribe 3 to 4, or longer strength training cycle using percentages and reps (e.g. Week1: 5×5 w/80%, Week2: 5×5 w/82.5%, Week3: 5×5 w/85%).

How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training? Part 5: Do we need this complexity

What’s the point behind using START and STOP velocities to prescribe strength training instead of using percentages and reps (or rep ranges) and even RPE system? Is the complexity worth it? What do we gain?
