A measure of load used as a percentage of one-rep-max. Onto the oft overlooked and misunderstood but extremely important — linear changes in RELATIVE LOAD (across all sets) ⁣⁣⁣ The effects discussed — and graphed — are going to be a function of an isolated comparison between our independent variable (here, relative load) and a
