Probably will only remove it as a offense when women & Jews & non whites do it

They will most likely give white non gentile males the death penalty for being accused

They already tried to give it the death penalty

Great for avoiding company barbecues you do not want to go to

@houseoftolstoy

Let's say going from $1 to $2 in one week is 100% inflation per week

And going from $2 to $3.98 in one week is only 99% inflation per week

Look inflation has lowered

Inflation could continue to lower for all eternity while still never dropping below 95% inflation per week

If each time the percent inflation per week dropped by a smaller amount than last time

This would still have a continuous raise in prices every week while lowering percent inflation per week

Some biomechanics and exercise physiology professors will tell you that if you know the cross sectional area of someone's muscle you can predict with incredible accuracy how strong they are and that might be true for people who have reached maximum neurological adaptation and who also are doing 1 rep maxes

But marathoners sometimes have these little tiny muscles that can lift more with the same number of repetitions than people with bigger muscles as long as the reps are high

@houseoftolstoy

5 at 139.2 pounds would translate to 4 at 144 pounds

This is very close to your estimate of 5 at 140 pounds translating to 4 at 145 pounds

but these charts do not always work in real life as your case demonstrated

@houseoftolstoy

This is a training load chart to mathematically predict how many repetitions of a weight you can lift based on how many repetitions of a different amount of weight you can lift

By estimating your 1 repetition max and then converting back and forth

It is provided by the National Strength and Conditioning Association

Personally I do not think it really works well for all people

Most Endurance athletes are very different than 1 rep max lifters

@houseoftolstoy

It is much easier to increase the number of reps by 10% and keep the force the same then to increase the force by 10% and keep the number of reps the same even though this mathematically should take the same amount of mechanical work on paper

For example

Increasing from 100 pounds to 110 pounds for 10 reps

Is a lot more difficult

Than increasing from 10 reps to 11 reps for 100 pounds

@houseoftolstoy

The more reps you can do at 145 pounds the easier it should be to do 1 rep at 146 pounds

It should be easier to go from one rep at
145 pounds to 146 pounds
than straight from 145 pounds to 150 pounds
in the same amount of time

They usually have these little tiny weights to add to bars or weight machines for people who get stuck at a certain weight and can not advance in a larger quantity from one weight to the next
