Squat Velocity
I have velocity data from a bunch of AMRAP squat sets with loads between 70-88%.
My RPE maps to velocity consistently across all the loads.
@7 = .35
@8 = .3
@9 = .25
@10 < .2
My slowest successful squat rep was .174.

Re: Michael's Log
What does your program look like, Michael? I’m use to seeing brutally high RPEs on your last set. Are you embracing the lower RPE, set volume approach?

I’m running the squat and deadlift portion from the Montana Method: 12 Session General Strength.JohnHelton wrote: ↑Sun Dec 13, 2020 2:56 pm What does your program look like, Michael? I’m use to seeing brutally high RPEs on your last set. Are you embracing the lower RPE, set volume approach?
I’m running a modified Average To Savage reps to failure for presses.
It’s hard to let go of the high effort sets. These workouts feel like a warmup.
The last time I tried MM it was really hard on me, but I was going too heavy. Going too heavy for eight sets of three is a disaster.

Re: Michael's Log
I found deadlifts to be the same way from a velocity standpoint. They were really unpredictable until I actually got to very high RPEs.

Re: Michael's Log
I'm not surprised by this.
You (your body) learn as you go along I guess, and you might get warmer.
If the loads are correct I would guess this is what is supposed to happen.
I was doing 15 heavy OHP singles (90%1RM) on one minute intervals.
Reps 6-9 were the best, easiest, fastest ones.

For some reason my legs are feeling beat. I don't know why. This program should be easier. Maybe it is caused by focusing on faster reps?

I don't find lower RPE training effective or less fatiguing.
