15RM + 20% = ~10RM[b said:Quote[/b] (Heavy Duty dude @ Aug. 20 2004,12:57)]I was just wondering about this: wouldn't it be possible to extrapolate the 10RM from the 5RM and the 10RM? Could we say that it's the average of the 2 or use some formula?
Yes, you will likely be trainign to failure if you are using your RMs. This is just fine.[b said:Quote[/b] (Dont_quit @ Aug. 10 2004,1:12)]On your 15-10-5 RM workout, your first set would be to failure, and you couldn't do any more sets if you were doing more than one, could you? Should you even try?
I guess this is just a blank in my readings of this forum/faq
thanks!
The idea that HST is based on says that voluntary strength and the tissues leve of resistance to the anabolic effects of "loading" are not necessarily connected. In other words, your strength does not accurately predict what weight loads are required to induce growth.[b said:Quote[/b] (Heavy Duty dude @ Aug. 20 2004,2:10)]Anyways I wonder if it's really usefull to measure the 10RM and the 5RM since our strength is likely to have changed in the meantime - in fact 6 to 8 weeks in we include the SD -.
It's probably as accurate to determine the 10RMs after having done our 15RM workout ( last wo of the 15s I mean ) by adding 20%, and to determine the 5RMs after having done our 10RM workout by adding 15%.
Could somebody answer this for me? Thanks.[b said:Quote[/b] (s7e @ Aug. 30 2004,5:12)]So as far as hypertrophy goes, would finishing up 2 full sets of 10 be the same as doing 1x10 + 2x5? Or would the 2x10 yield better growth?
