Thanks for discussing! I overall agree. First lemme be explicit that I didn't imagine anyone sane who has not been to a gym ever - or even in a long time - to plop in ~100% of their weight for anything. Warm up and going there in increments was presumed by me as the standard procedure. > - Bench press .50x of weight - Squat .75x of weight - Deadlift 1.00x of weight Yeah, I wasn't sure about the percentages, just the general relation between them. My fault here most likely! I don't remember how many lives ago I heard about this "test". Your numbers sound reasonable too. But it was clearly after I done my work (out, over 3 years) of getting from "nothing" to "something". > What is this supposed to be an approach for? Overall fitness level? I'd say more of the power (strength) level. There is a lot more to fitness.
