  • Review and Retrospective – Part 3

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 30/12/2019

    Review is about demonstrating the performance while comparing it to expected performance or outcome/performance goals or objectives. Retrospective is about understanding and improving the process underlying performance (which can be considered analysis of the dose, current state and plan and how it affects the response).

  • Review and Retrospective – Part 2

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 16/12/2019

    Training dose and responses have been traditionally modelled and understood through the prism of Selye's GAS and Banister models. In this part you will learn another one that can be used to model 1RM in strength training.

  • Review and Retrospective – Part 1

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 07/12/2019

    What happens after finished strength training phase? How do we integrate feedback collected? What is bias/variance decomposition? Find out in the following article.

  • Strength Training Manual: Planning – Part 6

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 16/11/2019

    Differentiating between progression and variation can become cumbersome. In this part, I tackle this problem with two novel concepts: vertical and horizontal planning. These two concepts make planning of the strength training a breeze.

  • Strength Training Manual: Planning – Part 5

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 24/10/2019

    This is probably my favorite part of the book. In it I am reviewing 12 archetypal set and rep schemes: Plateau, Step, Reverse Step, Ascending Wave, Descending Wave, Ascending Ladder, Descending Ladder, Traditional Pyramid, Reverse Pyramid, Light-Heavy, Cluster and Cluster Wave.

  • Strength Training Manual: Prescription – Part 3

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 02/08/2019

    How do we aggregate the training dose? What are the pros and cons of different dose metrics? How do we predict 1RM from training data? What is “exertion load” metric, and why is it useful? How should the ballistic Load-Exertion table be adjusted? Find answers to these questions, and much more in the following article.

  • Strength Training Manual: Prescription – Part 1

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 30/06/2019

    Before diving deep into the planning section, it is important to understand the basis of the percent-based approach to strength training, particularly what these percentages are based upon, how to test 1RM and prescribe a training while using it as a reference point, how to compare individuals and other topics.
