๐Ÿ“ Notes & Tips

  • Form > reps. Stop if bar speed slows or form breaks.
  • Choose the right % load. Too heavy = low reps, poor data. Too light = inflated max.
  • Best rep range is 6โ€“12. More accurate estimates than super high reps.
  • Record the set. Watch endurance progress week-to-week.
  • Use est. max as training number. Safer than grinding a risky single.
