Dynamic Effort and Bar Speed
For those that are implementing conjugate like dynamic effort methods in training, how much attention do you pay to the accuracy of bar speed on dynamic effort day? I find it very hard for myself and some of my athletes to hit the 0.8 meters per second with 50% of 1RM without any accommodated resistance. Add bands or chains into the mix, and obviously, bar speed would slow down even more. Previously, I've used the accommodated resistance and dynamic effort work with success and never actually measured bar speed, but I would definitely be working a lot slower than 0.8 . My initial thoughts is paying that much attention to the velocity of the bar is likely majoring in the minors, and attention should probably be applied to velocity or speed loss over the course of the sets, or speed relative to the individual athlete's norm. But wondering if anyone has more experience with this and are we possibly missing the mark by not achieving a certain bar speed.
