The weight used during a Dynamic Effort training session is based on a percentage of the maxes you do.

I am constantly challenged by members of my team to increase the weight for these sessions when I have explained the emphasis is to produce POWER with a lighter weight and a timed response to the lift.

During these "lighter" sessions we can also emphasize the technique of the lift so when it comes time to produce a MAX EFFORT there isn't too much compensation to accomplish the lift.

Unfortunately, many team members want to play with the "Big Boys" and they aren't ready for it.  EGO gets in the way and learning stops.

Trust the process!  I've been doing this for a while and it hasn't failed me yet!
