The Benefits and Limitations of Predicting One Repetition Maximum Using the Load-Velocity Relationship (2019)
Journal Article
Alistair J., M., Kieran P., A., Maybanks, G., McDwyer, M., Dos'Santos, T., Paul A., J., …John J., M. (2019). The Benefits and Limitations of Predicting One Repetition Maximum Using the Load-Velocity Relationship. Strength and Conditioning Journal, 41(6), 28-40. https://doi.org/10.1519/SSC.0000000000000496
