See below under ‘Training Loads’ for more information on AW (‘appropriated weight’).<br />
For traditional barbell and dumbbell exercises, MAG training occurs in the ‘sweet spot’<br />
zone, where the resistance is neither too heavy (such that the movement is laboured)<br />
nor too light (the exercise feels devoid of significant force). While the 51%-75% guide<br />
range applies to most lifters, the optimal resistance for MAG work is usually the one<br />
with which the athlete feels most powerful, where the goal is maximal force and<br />
speed. Appropriate resistance for MAG work is much harder to determine for<br />
dynamic exercises or non-traditional resistance exercises, but the general guide<br />
should still be ‘when the athlete feels most powerful,’ since this cue typically reflects<br />
an optimal amount of speed and force.<br />
Furthermore, different athletes may naturally fall at different places along that<br />
continuum, either as the result of prior training, or their genetics, or a combination of<br />
both. This is represented in genetic predisposition for certain activities/sport, but also<br />
the natural ability to naturally express the different types of stimulation. RATE<br />
