Note to free weight lifters
Just those using free weights with the Blitz.
I have seen reference by some about "pain" when using free weights. I went back over the stats and have a recommendation for those using free weights. My suggestion at present without doing the physics, But if using free weights divide the 1RM by 4 as opposed to 3.
So...if using free weights use 1/4th 1RM as your start weight.
Reason: Due to the velocity of the reps the weight increases resistance at the bottom of the movement. The increased resistance is due to inertia of the weight moving downward and the increased effort to reverse the movement of the weight.
