Just to make sure, how do we deal with intensity correctly, when dividing 81-90% lifts between sessions in a week? There is this quote on the top of pg. 63
“The intensity optimum is far from stable. Based on studying this factor on members of the USSR national team, we can presume that intensity fluctuations in training sessions with 20-25% limits are warranted.” (Vorobyev, 1970)
Percentages are weird. Using a 3 day a week split to percents of 25-33-42 as an example, the fact that 33/42=78.57% (a 21.42% difference) but 42/33=127.27% (a 27.27% difference) makes it hard to know how to calculate intended variability. Also intensity fluctuations can’t always be a 20-25% difference because the difference in between 25 and 42 is 40.47% or 68% depending on how you look at it.
I understand about about how much the HARI should fluctuate, but without waiting to see what that outcome is, what are good percentages to play with for distributing 81-90% lifts?
