One-repetition maximum

Like you train in the gym.

If you've done a 1RM before, you know how daunting it is sliding under the barbell for a back squat

or

getting ready to lift that bar off the floor for a deady or laying under a bench press bar.

24 reps of volume and on and on.

But if you misinterpreted the estimated 1RM because the client you're training doesn't have a lot of experience with low reps, so you created an estimated 1RM from a higher rep value, And for example, it was a hardcore hypertrophy phase and that client is used to push when it's higher reps.

And now you're pulling that estimated 1M value.

And then with that new estimated 1M value, you're estimating the 90% for the training session of your eight by three.

We can talk about enzyme um essentially the amount of the enzymes you have inside of the capillary density around the area like you've got a huge amount of pieces of the puzzle but you need to drive the change and the way to drive the change is to get yourself to do them it's equivalent of olympic lifting Yeah, we can have you do work with a PVC dowel rod when you're a true rank beginner for sheer motor learning.

But you know, Mash, there's a dang big difference between a 70% of 1RM snatch and clean and jerk and a 90 plus percent.

We

have debate all the time in weightlifting.

And this is conflating a lot of different things right now.

Are we building strength or are we testing strength? And when you're young, testing strength and building strength are damn near the same thing.

But, like, for guys like you're working with, like Grimstead, there is test in that we're measuring the velocity, but I don't have to 1RM you.

I don't want you to take that such a failure.

so what was done in the intensifications which was microcycle two now you do it in microcycle one so that now the incline the dip and the deadlift are trained in the accumulations and microcycle one now moves to intensifications so that the overhead bench and front squat can be trained in the intensifications Then macro three, you go back to macro one structure, macro four, you go back to macro two structure being the accumulation.

So this way at the end of the year, you have an equal, dispatching of stressors across all of the primate okay so for foundation i leave it as that there's no other thought really behind it it's simply you keep rotating the mic the macro the micro cycle structure so macro to macro to make sure you have even distribution of stressors now what happens as you move on to level two and you introduce the optimizing strength ratio material is now you could start macro cycle one with micro cycle one being accumulations micro cycle two being intensifications but now what happened during that week of active recovery on week 13 is now you have time to to now look at your new estimated 1rm ratios scores i mean because if you've done that programming it means that you've been through all of these lifts at least once so you take your block two numbers which is accumulation two and intensification two you take the last session of both so week nine and week twelve and then you extrapolate your new estimated one rms so now based off of your new estimated one rms now you can establish with the strength ratio, what is your one main upper body limiting lift? And what is your one main lower body limiting lift? And now based off of that, now you make sure that your intensifications for the following macro, You're using a structure where these lifts are trained in the intensifications because now we're trying to improve the estimated 1RM score of these limiting lifts.

So if we're trying to improve 1RM score, it makes more sense for those lifts to be trained in the intensifications.

Then you do macro two that way.

Then after macro two, then you reestablish again your new estimated 1RM.

Then you figure out what are the new limiting lifts.

Are they different lifts? Is it still the same? Now, based off of these numbers, then you re...
