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?
In the previous installment we dealt with creation of individualized rep-max profile. In this part we will deal with one concept that I like to call Velocity/Exertion.
I am pretty sure NO ONE has ever written about it b…
In the previous installment we dealt with analysis of progressive 1RM test, and we got Load/Velocity profile. One thing that is important from Load/Velocity profile, from velocity-based strength training standpoint is MV…
I am repeating the data from the previous part before I start with the analysis and visualization. As you can see my 1RM in bench press with ~2-sec pause is 117.5kg and Ivan’s is 140kg.
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/8…
I will use this installment to share some thought on “Recovery mini-block”, which is one of four parts of microcycle: recovery, load, taper and game. I will focus on starters (see concept of functional groups in prev…

Regardless of your training objectives (increasing strength in specific lifts, increasing strength overall, bulking up, leaning out, rehabilitation, maintenance, etc), key training parameters (intensity, volume, frequenc…
Approximately a month ago I have emailed a lot of prominent coaches and sport scientists a survey form to rate their experience with AMS products and also rate/describe their needs. The goal of the survey was to improve…
