The string potentiometer allows you to take detailed displacement vs. time data from the lift.  This can be used to determine all sorts of things like max speed and acceleration.  With this data you can calculate, with good accuracy, how much force you are applying to the weight at all points during the lift.  This is like an engineering playground... 

Heck, I should be able to take a couple of different weights and extrapolate from my dumbbell snatch how high my WOB should be...

Way cool Matt, lets see how your invention goes. What is interesting
with a tendo is what you think was your fastest Rep is usually your
slowest based on feel.
Alan, thanks for the compliment and for stopping by. Hope to have
improved my speed by the MWC. Hows your throwing going?

4-16-10 Fri   Finished the testing week. Tuesday tested Deadlifts-185 @ 1 m/s, Bench-105 @ 1 m/s and Squat-215 @ 1 m/s. Friday was Hang Snatch-70 @ 1.8 m/s, Power Cleans-85 @ 1.5 m/s and Push Press-95 @ 1.3m/s.

It amazes me how depleted I am the next day after testing. Very similar to a game were each throw you put all you had behind it, this is the same. Every lift is 100% as you are trying to beat a set speed. When you make it you go up in weight and when you dont you try even harder to add some more drive to it. The hot cold contrast baths dont work as well with this type of workout, NAPS do!

Jon McClain came by and tested with me yesterday. He did all 6 tests at once! What a stud! He put up some decent numbers.

Hey, I'm feeling OK with my power cleans after reading this. Not that you didn't do a crapload more of them then I'm doing, but at least our weights are comparable.  I think it's the only thing I'm actually very close to you in, weight-wise.

I might actually go down 10 lbs and try to do some more of them.  Have to think about that.

Also, Bill..... last few weeks I've lifted hard on Monday and then had a throws session on Tuesday evening. I'm always hurtin' on  Tuesday and feel tons better by Wednesday.  It takes me at least three full days to recover completely from a hard/fast weights session.

I wonder if I would have recovered more quickly when I was 25.

At 25 I weighed 150 and would diet down to the 148's in powerlifting. Those 2 pounds were hard to take off. I can not imagine throwing at that light bodyweight. Another thing I noticed with this Tendo/Speed workout is my appetite is voracious! So far have not gained weight but am eating big again. Will try and taper back down in carbs next week. Got a game in Pensacola this weekend. Did nothing but recoup today, hot/cold tubs twice and plenty of protien as well as more sleep.

Be careful with that CNS-fry...I know when my power meter is low I end up making small mistakes in form.

Rest...only then a Jedi will you be.

Thanks Duncan, CNS depletion in the past for me was several weeks of hard workouts, this is all new for me. I really think this is a turning point for me, I will really back off the amount of workouts from 4 a week to 2 and focus more on recovery. This is why I have reduced the amount of games scheduled for this year. Next year would be a great time for a Texas vacation, this year is Denver.

Let me tell ya!  I threw last season at 150 and that 56# was a B!  Even throwing the hammer was hard.  This off season I lifted heavy and ate everything.  Now 185'ish and much stronger than previous and sporting spikes (still not used to these) I hope to do better.  You hit the nail on the head about being 150#.

Let me know how much of an improvement the extra 35 pounds makes in competition. Hows your speed? How has it affected your sheaf?

Really worked on recovery this week and after taking a 2 hour nap went out and threw light implements working on form. I have more pop right now than i have had in a while.

Threw today with the light weights. Had to increase them as I hit the goal distance except on the WOB. Did light hammer, Wfd, & WOB. It is rather hot down here so I ran out of steam with the WOB. Have worked on my spinning wob and hope to use it in June. Am very pleased with this style of training and the additional speed and strentgh it has imparted. Feel like I am where I need to be for MWC.
