Abbreviations

I was thinking it would be nice to have quick ways of saying things in your journal when we are discussing ways in which you can advance. That we don't continually have to spell out everything...which I get sick of doing, personally. I makes it look like I'm spoon feeding you stuff when in fact you understand how I work. We just don't have a quicker way of talking...

So I want to use abbreviations when it comes to all these different progressive tools. Here are some:


1. RE: repeated effort. That means I want you to do as many reps as possible for a certain number of sets TO failure. This will be usually at a percentage below 90.

2. MRE: modified repeated effort. If I say that it means that I want you to do as many reps as possible for a certain amout of sets at a given weight but NOT quite to failure. Percentage below 90.

3. SE: submax effort. This would be just like the 10x3 and the things that are to come after it. Meaning doing a certain number of reps at a given percentage of 1RM (and prob with specified rest periods).

4. ME: max effort.

5. SP: single progression. To be followed by R, W, or S for reps, weight, or sets respectively.

6. DP: double progression. Same thing. Followed by two letters representig what to add

7. TP: triple progression. Additional letters not needed . On TP btw, as I had told you before, it will behoove you in the future to have a way to microload. I can't see you doing too much TP adding 5 pounds in addtion to everything else. But if you are able to do it, good on ya!

OK, that's all I can think of for now.
