Create Custom Set and Rep Schemes With {STMr} – Module 2: Reps-Max Relationship
By Mladen Jovanovic on 15/05/2022This course module will introduce the elementary building block for creating set and rep schemes - the reps-max relationship. The first video in this module deals with some theory and introduces three models to “map out” the relationship between reps to failure and %1RM.

Problem With (Perceived) Reps-In-Reserve
By Mladen Jovanovic on 09/05/2022The use of (perceived) reps-in-reserve (pRIR) in strength training has become one of the most prominent (subjective) auto-regulation methods. Another very common subjective auto-regulation approach that precedes pRIR, involves the use of the rate of perceived effort (or exertion), or RPE.

Create Custom Set and Rep Schemes With {STMr} – Module1: Introduction
By Mladen Jovanovic on 02/05/2022Before we jump straight into the {STMr} package and accompanying tools, I need to give some theoretical feedback that is required to understand the “whys” behind the percent-based prescription.

The Ultimate Set and Rep Scheme
By Mladen Jovanovic on 05/03/2022There is an unlimited number of set and rep scheme combinations for a comprehensive classification system. But I do have my favorite scheme! Find out which one is it in the following article.

Load-Exertion Tables And Their Use For Planning – Part 4
By Mladen Jovanovic on 07/02/2022In the previous part, we used a set of Epley’s equations to estimate both group and individual reps-max profiles, as well as to create progression tables. One characteristic of Epley’s equation is that 100% 1RM is achieved with 0RM, which is not an ecologically valid assumption. What the hell is 0RM in the first place? Find out in the...

Load-Exertion Tables And Their Use For Planning – Part 3
By Mladen Jovanovic on 22/01/2022In this article, I will teach you how to create individualized progression tables, but before we jump straight into that, I will walk you through the process of getting Epley’s 0.0333 coefficient in the first place.

Load-Exertion Tables And Their Use For Planning – Part 2
By Mladen Jovanovic on 12/01/2022How to Progress From Here? Although we have explored Relative Intensity (RI), Deducted Intensity (DI), Reps In Reserve (RIR), and Percent of Max Reps (%MR) approach in the previous part, I am not going to tell you which one to use. What I will do instead, is to explore further how these can be used to create progression...

Load-Exertion Tables And Their Use For Planning – Part 1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 20/12/2021Prescribing strength training is indeed tricky. Things tend to vary across lifts/movements, individuals, gender, rep ranges, types of programs, splits, and so forth. But we are not completely clueless. Find out the potential solution in the following article.
