Strength training

@clive
Carried on from Injury List- do any parts of you still work?

The South Africa institute of Sport had some good stuff while I was there, along with tests of strength vs endurance but no idea on the results.
Machine did quad extensions and hamstring Curls, single leg, with resistance being set each rep based on your force. So you started max effort and it would gradually adjust as you fatigued, and show in what part of the rep you were strong in compared to others.

I’ve seen guide of squat/Deadlift body weight for 5reps as a decent target, ideally 1.5x for more competitive athletes. Don’t know how true that is but seems about right. Anyone with better advice?
