Operational Protocol: Strength Modeling
The Brzycki Algorithm
Testing a true 1-rep max involves significant orthopedic risk for athletes 50+. This lab utilizes the Brzycki Formula ($1RM = w \div (1.0278 - 0.0278 \times r)$), allowing for precision modeling without joint trauma.
CNS Preservation
Maximal attempts tax the central nervous system far more than submaximal modeling. Consistent tracking identifies Anabolic Resistance early, allowing for adjustments in protein and volume. Check your FFMI Lab results to correlate strength with mass.
