Critical drop off point for maximal strength(Duxx,Charlie...others)

Expert Discussion Strength Training
1

I read a article and I had a question about the critical drop off point for strength being at 10%.
The reason I ask is because I recall reading from other strength coaches ( Jay Schroeder come to mind) that they place the critical drop off point a little lower at roughly the 6-7% range.
Knowing articles on this topic?

I am curious if the difference has to do with training for maximal strength …thx:)

Why don’t you ask the author of the article? (It was this article wasn’t it?: The Numbers of Muscle Building)

They have a section for article discussion and questions if you look.

Actually someone else asked the same question:

I read your recent “numbers” article and I had a question about the critical drop off point for strength being at 10%. I was wondering how you arrived at this number.

The reason I ask is because I recall reading from other strength coaches (Charlie Francis and Jay Schroeder come to mind) that they place the critical drop off point a little lower at roughly the 6-7% range.

I am curious if the difference has to do with training for maximal strength versus training for maximal power or whether 10% comes from your experience or (and it is more than possible) I am obsessing about a minor discrepancy between the figures.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you are obsessing about a minute detail. The 3% difference is actually not a difference. The 10% is not a precise exact, set in stone number. 7-10% is fine. It’s just that 6% is not really applicable to most strength movements, although it is for speed work and this is where this figure comes from.
