– I’ll do that with girls who are leading up to a big competition because we need to know what affect that’s going to have on their competition performance and also on their training. What we do a lot is self regulate, and instead of me saying this session needs to be done at, this set of back squats are 88% of your max, which well yeah, it was my max a week ago, but I definitely couldn’t lift that much today. Instead of doing that, it will be, instead of being a certain percentage, it’s a certain feeling that we’re looking for. So you lifting 100 kilos on one day might be easy. 80 kilos a week later is going to be ridiculously difficult, so you base the training intensity off how you’re feeling for that day or how you’re feeling in the warmup as opposed to you must be on these rigid percentages. So there’s an element of strength self regulation in there. And a lot of the times, if there’s something like a conditioning session, I will say work at X out of 10. So if they’re working at a six out of 10 like we talked about with our aerobic training yesterday, a six out of 10, it’s going to be different every week for you, but it’s still a six out of 10, which is going to give you the best impact for what we’re trying to get, the intent of that session.
