Posted Workouts - Explanation

Ever wonder what lifts we are doing each day? Check out our website to see our weightlifting workouts, which includes the working sets, reps, and %'s of the lifts we will perform that day.
Sets/reps/%:
Back squat: 4X3 @ 80% of best (or) heavy single is an example of how a lift along with the sets, reps, and % will be posted. In this example, 4 is the # of working sets. 3 is the # of reps to be completed in a set. To find 80% of an athletes best (1 repetition maximum "1RM"), or heaviest weight lifted (i.e. heavy single, double, triple, ect.) in back squat, you should multiple their best or heaviest weight lifted by 80%. If an athletes best is 150 kilograms, then you would multiple 150 kg by 80% (0.80). In this example, the athlete should start their first working set of back squat at 120 kg (150*0.80 = 120).
