Chest Press
Row
EF leg press
Upper body exercises are static holds, now with a 90 second target. Leg press is on the Explosive Fitness machine which measures the instantaneous force I am generating and keeps a record of the maximum. On this machine I make one all out effort which takes ~ 5 seconds.
I made a quick trip to Texas over the holiday weekend. As a result diet and sleep were not great this week. Still, today's workout after 7 days of recovery was OK. TUL was up on the chest press, down a bit on the row, and I hit 2,209 on the leg press which was up from last week.
more time off bro. have you tried it?
ReplyDeletehow can you have momentary maximum intensity if you are sustaining some amount for over a minute?

ReplyDeleteIf you look at previous posts you will see that I have often taken more than a week off. I am now experimenting with reduced TUL (90 sec) to see if this will allow me to recover in a week.
MMI applies to the leg press and the 90 sec target applies to the upper body exercises. I am using conventional weight machines for upper body and a Explosive Fitness machine for the leg press. The EF machine has a load cell that measures how hard I push against a static plate.
