@James_Smith

You are correct.

60-85% of competition max/highly psyched training max

or

70-90% of 90% of your last recorded maximum is all you need

The bulk of percentages over the course of an annual cycle falling between 70-75%

This is more than substantiated in the overseas literature, my personal lifting and coaching experience, as well as that of my most respected colleagues.

James,

what set/rep scheme would go with that? Would you then simply follow linear progression to increase the weight the athlete uses, ie 200 x 6, add 10 lbs go for 6 and add 10 lbs again as soon as this is accomplished?
