THE RIGHT INTENSITY
We can define the right intensity by the number of reps (or movements) that we are able to do in an exercise. The more reps I can do, the lower the intensity of the exercise I am doing, will be. Using an experimental analysis the following table was developed:
Table:
Similarity
between the maximum number of reps and the percentage of the max. load.

That

The
maximum intensity is therefore what I can achieve with only one movement.
It
is the maximum amount of reps we are able to do in one exercise. For example:
If
I have to do 6 pull ups on the pull up bar when I could have done 10, that is no
good. I should manage 5 and hardly
complete the 6th. I could for example diminish the size of the hold.
If
the exercise tells me to do 6 pull ups, and I cannot even complete the fourth
pull up, this is still not good, I therefore need to use an elastic to alleviate
the weight.
It has to be sufficiently low for me to execute the correct movement. If I have to complete a set of lateral movements, for example, for a total of 6 movements, the problem is not arriving to the end of the set but finishing in total control (I do 6 movements, but I could have done 12).
The training shown on this website can cause serious damage to your body, especially to your muscular skeletric apparatus, and in certain subjects it can also affect the cardiovascular system.
