Fultonius said:I agree with this ^^ also, you could get an inconclusive result and be even more confused than had you not bothered! I've dived into AnCap this year (mainly based on never really having done any focussed training on it). Might try Stu's test at some point and see how I fair. I take it that, given I don't have access to any data to compare against, you just do a best fit curve and see where the peaks and troughs are?
Bit annoyed at the lack of response from Lattice tbh. 2 emails, no reply so far....
If you want to do the tests, I'm happy to analyse the data and send you a brief summary. The easiest way to do this test is probably to devote a full day to it. Warm up well and then do the following:
1) Find your maximum two-arm hang weight on the edge you use. Rest 10+ mins.
2) Do 7:3 repeaters to failure at 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% of your max weight*. Rest 20+ mins between these efforts.
3) Send me the times from each hang and your max weight (incl bodyweight).
*don't forget bodyweight! So if you weigh 70kg and you can add 20kg, your max weight is 90kg. A hang at 70% of 90kg is 63kg, so you'd have to remove 7kg for this set.
From those four hangs I can estimate your critical force and see if any of the efforts above are under predicted by the CF model.
Offer open to anyone who wants to waste an afternoon...
