Maxing Out September 5, 2008
Posted by hardly Bar, Max reps, Other, Pullups, Row, Sit-upsToday’s session was focused on some new movements, and maxing out. We’re doing this in prep for some ‘events’ where we test our overall fitness.
We had a good discussion today about these events, and what they were measuring, and if they were comparable across different people. The analogy we came to is that if you need to haul something, a Percheron is a great horse choice, and will most likely kick any Quarter-horse at raw power. However, the Quarter-horse is most likely going to outrun the Percheron. How do you compare fitness across these two breeds, and especially if they are doing different types of work that aren’t that easily measured? Ideas welcome!
