Ok...I have a pair in the garage that are just collecting dust and rust...they need use.
Thoughts needed...
Here is what I was thinking...
I took a 1RM (loose suit and briefs and belt only) on Sunday and hit 675. Felt like 700 would have went and maybe 725+ with wraps...but that is neither here nor there...
I read somewhere that one could use 55% of their 1RM bar weight, and 35% added on to that would be weight releaser weight...
I also want to keep using the bands...and I thought that the mid bands added about 150 pounds at the top...
1RM: 675
55% for bar weight: 370 (rough)
85% total: 570 (rough)
Mid bands: 150 total
-----------------------------------------------
This is what I was thinking about using on Wednesday:
Bar Weight: 225
Average Bands: 150 (+225 bar weight = 375 or roughly 55%)
Weight Releasers: 200 total
BW (225) + Bands (150) + WR (200) = 575 (85.1% of my 1RM)
Of course, I plan to do my speed sets first (225-275 plus medium bands for 8-10 sets) and finish with 2-4 singles with this weight.
What are your thoughts? Am I wayyyyy off base here???
Thanks a ton...
