– The load, the weighting of this should based off previous results, not off a percentage of your max. There’s something called neuromuscular efficiency. Some people can do 95% of their max for 10 reps. Some people can’t do it for two, yeah? It depends on what percentage of are muscle fibres you’re able to turn on at any one time. People who’ve got high neuromuscular efficiency have very high one rep maxes, but they can then maybe only do three reps at 85% ’cause they’re already turning on all of their muscle. There’s no reserves for those future reps. Someone with low neuromuscular efficiency, their one rep max isn’t as high, but they can do a lot of reps at 95%. They can just go, and I’m sure you guys can all think of someone like that, as well, and you can sort of put yourself on that continuum of high to low neuromuscular efficiency.
