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.

Set and Rep Schemes in Strength Training – Part 1

The article will be published in two parts. Part one deals more with terminology and something that I call ‘intensity trinity’. I hope that this terminology will become standard in our field/industry.
