Slow but steady geeking out on the intersection of #sports physiology and math #modelling / #software engineering. I have a project in mind.

#PP / #FTP / #HIE / #MAP / #1RM / #LIP / #VO2max

Do these acronyms ring a bell? Know your way around modelling them? Or maybe you know someone? Looking for someone to pick their brains. Please share.

My #1RepMax testing weekend is officially complete! Final numbers for the big 4:

OHP: 165
DL: 425
Squat: 335
BP: 275

Not bad for a guy about to turn 40, I’d say! 🥳 🧟‍♂️ #workout #weightlifting #strengthTraining #1rm #fitness

More #weightlifting news today: I have completed 1 of 2 max testing sessions (with my trainer in person for a change, to boot)! I tested #1RepMax on squat this morning - target was 305#, finished at 335#! 🥳 Previously tested max from years ago was 400, and that was slow and ugly. This 335 felt very strong! Next up today is bench press! … after some hydration and some fruit and maybe a nap. 😅

UPDATE: I hit my Deadlift target of 425#! I could have maybe eked out 430, but I decided to leave it and just shoot past it next time. 🥳 1RepMax test day 1 is in the bag. Tomorrow is Day 2 with squat and benchpress! 💪🏼 😎 #weightlifting #fitness #strengthTraining #gayfitness #workout #1rm
UPDATE: I hit my OHP target of 165!! I did make a go of 170, but I just couldn’t get the bar past eye level. It seems like I should have been able to by how 165 moved (heavy but unimpeded), but …. I’m beyond being surprised at what a profound difference in difficulty just 5 pounds can make for shoulder stuff. Anyway, WOO! Later today will be Deadlift testing! >:3 #weightlifting #strengthTraining #fitness #gayfitness #workout #1rm #1RepMax
Tomorrow is Day 1 of testing new 1-rep max! I’ll do one session in the morning, the next session later in the day to give myself some recharge time. I’m going to do Overhead Press and Deadlift. Sunday will be Day 2 of testing with benchpress and squat! Current goal is to hit previously tested numbers - they’re old, I’ve had a few injuries since testing them, so breaking even shows full recovery! Wish me luck, fitness nerds! 🤗 🙈 #weightlifting #1rm #strengthTraining
