Episode notes
Classic Model Downfalls
- The classic volume model (reps * sets) lacks clear advancement points.
- It doesn't define when to start measuring or how to advance as athletes improve.
Modified Volume Model
- Start monitoring training volume once athletes reach 60% of their 1RM.
- This modified model is an improvement, but still lacks nuance.
Effective Reps Model Limitations
- The effective reps model, while better than the classic model, mainly focuses on hypertrophy.
- It requires athletes to understand RIR and bar speed, which can be challenging for beginners.
