The Selection of 100% Weights 

 

One of the most important calculations that takes place during the programming process is the determination of 100% figures. The 100% figures will then be used to determine the weights of the various percentages employed in the training process. Some coaches prefer to use the heaviest lifts attained in the previous macrocycle to determine 100% figures, but I’ve always favored designating 100% figures to be achieved in the culminating competition of the upcoming macrocycle.
