      There’s a notion in the sometimes-weird world of strength training that you’ll get stronger from doing less work. You can put this in the new-age junk pile of failed ideas. ...

      Lots of people talk about deadlifting, but you’ve got to examine the source that you’re listening to. I see people speaking about all sorts of things they have no authority on and the deadlift in particular is something that irritates me. It’s mostly because the deadlift is something I do have authority ...

      Training intensity gets more press than training volume, but most of the time it just scratches the surface of the discussion. If you do more than the minimum amount of reading on the topic of training, you no doubt know that “Intensity” does not refer to the amount of emotional excitement you feel during your training, but rather the weight on the bar.

      Above: View of the weakest joint angle

      Stance and bar position are good. Hips rise a little in the beginning, so make sure you are getting tight enough before descending.

      Force Curve Shape: Wedge

      Have you ever noticed that most of the top level lifters have the ability to grind out heavy weights? Of course that’s not universally true, but most of them can really struggle through a lift and still come out on top. However, there are lots ...

      There seems to be some confusion out there about training volumes. So I thought it would be prudent to discuss what volume is, what it does, and how you manage it in your own training. Normally, I’d try to come up with a funny anecdote to lure you into the rest of the article. But either a discussion on training volume ...

      Immediate training effects
      The immediate training effects arise as a result of summation of acute training effects from several exercises [10]. Or in other words, immediate training effects represent changes in body state resulting from a single workout and/or a training day [10].
      Evaluation of immediate training effects is an essential part of athletes’ preparation [10]. According to Vladimir Issurin [10, 11, 12], assessment of immediate training effects is based on the following indicators:



      Although there are certain advances in the usage of certain monitoring tools and technology, like heart rate, ...

      Similar to RPE during training, session-RPE is taken by answering a simple question “How was your workout?” and pointing to a scale. Training load is calculated by multiplying session-RPE and training duration in minutes (including warm-up).
      Training load = Session-RPE x Training_Duration (min)
      For example if session-RPE ...
