So I went for a run to the local gym yesterday, and added the one hour workout to my calendar. I added it as a 3 on the intensity scale which gave me a figure of 43 tss. The workout was a pretty standard 3x10 style upper body type with one 3x10 in the squat rack (very light) to help with a dodgy kn…

[image] need4gforce: If you have never tried it, do a lift then go for an SST ride, I bet your power numbers are higher at the same HR! I just experienced this phenomenon and I’m confused. Shouldn’t my power numbers be LOWER due to the fact that my legs are already cooked from lifting?

Hello everbody, I have a quick question. I am on the first week of general build high volume and did 12 weeks sweetspot high volume before that. I did strength training twice a week during sweetspot base 2 high volume and now i am in the build. So my question is that: Should i continue to strenght…

It’s probably something about muscle tension or getting the recruitment patterns firing. It might be more of the “art” of lifting but it’s a known thing. Football players at the combine will hit a few very heavy sets of back squats to peak their sprint before they go do the dashes, etc.

I’d have to say that if weightlifting adds fatigue while on the bike , then it ought to be tracked, especially if you are new to lifting. After all, if you are using TP to track CTL, lifting is surely going to affect that number.

[image] kurt.braeckel: HR is also relatively meaningless in transients as it lags effort and the lag changes with a bunch of factors as above. You won’t get to a steady state effort when lifting such that the HR you see has much meaning at all. This is not quite true. Heavy squats have a som…

The question is not whether it adds to fatigue. The question is how do you compute TSS for weight lifting? Whatever you do, it’s not apples to apples, so the CTL/TSB numbers become less meaningful. IMO, time is better spent doing other things than trying to figure out how to calculate meaningful TSS…

HR TSS is intended for steady state efforts. It’s not that HR doesn’t respond to resistance training, it’s that using HR to calculate TSS in largely transient activities makes the number less and less accurate regardless of the activity. Guys, seriously… do what you want. I tracked weight lifting T…

This is not quite true. Heavy squats have a somewhat predictable response in terms of HR.

This is my squats + weighted pull ups session from yesterday.
