Hi Boris,
In addition to jseth, would there need to be two percentages to work from a RAW one for the warm ups up to 75% and a equipped for the suited sets, or just plug in your equipped max.
Thank You
I don’t know what will happen because I haven’t tried this before. Try this method and share your result.
I ran this method in my last equipped bench cycle and it worked well.
Ehi that's a good news. How did you find it?
The point, as far as I can understand is something like following. Average and local intensities must be at certain levels depending on competition max.
Given that, modern gears perform so much, that things could be really difficult to manage.
Let me do an example. Suppose that guy "A" has 300 kg of squat in competition (tight suit and tight wraps).
To do 80% he puts on a soft suit and not-so-tight wraps.
In that given gears he has in reality 265-270 kg (hypotetical but reasonable). So the REAL intensity he is perceiving during is training set is 240/270 = about 88%. Should he use instead 215-220 (80% of soft gear max)?
That could become very complicated to manage.
If you pic some programs indeed they already scale down the competition max of around 30% for raw and around 10% for partial gear (gear during training).

May this act as an overall lower stress in CNS?
Does it make sense due to the so powerful modern gears? I mean, at least for squat and bench.
Deadlift remains a lift where raw and equipped are not much far indeed.
It's an interesting argument.
