(This is the email and explanation that I got from my friend Josh.)
Here are your numbers man. I’ve attached two graphs plus the raw data (if you want to play around with it).
The first graph shows your average power output. Like I said before you stay very consistent throughout the whole test which tells me that you have the muscular endurance to maintain a higher workload if you wanted. I also noted that the difference between the power on your first rep and the rep before you stop on each set was not that significant. This tells me one of two things: you maintained your power on each lift today because you knew that you had to do lots of reps (basically you didn’t go all out on your first few reps then die out, you knew that you wanted to do lots of reps so you paced yourself) or you just have a lot of untapped power that you just don’t use. If you were to use your whole power output on every set your starting watts would be significantly higher than your ending watts. Finally, your velocity was lower than what I would expect (total average of .53 m/s). But because you were producing decent power output values at a medium velocity means if you increase your velocity per lift, you will increase your power output per lift, resulting in gains. With that I believe that you have A LOT of power to develop even still.
The second graph show the rep count per set. The red line is your average reps during the whole test (8.6 reps). This is pretty good considering that the Tendo missed some reps every now and then. This is consistent with what you said about the number of reps you train with. Because of the Tendo count failure on sets 4 and 7 I’m going to have trouble pinpointing the point where you plateau. Give me some time on that.
Here’s what I say about this test: 1) You have a lot of power to develop, 2) training for power may benefit you more than training for strength, 3) you have the muscular endurance, 4) increase your velocity per lift = increases in power = increases in weight on the bar/overall work volume, 5) try looking into different types of training med-cons (interval training, high rep counts at lower weight etc.) you have some potential to get better gains, 6) when lifting heavy, explode off the bar, never ever push a bar slow or try to have a controlled lift (if that makes sense) that only hurts your power. Try to move the bar as fast as possible even with heavy weight
