So this seems silly, but...
For WPU shouldn't we use our calculated max and TM + our body weight?
I've been doing weight-added only in my calculations since I started TB. Just seemed simpler and that it wouldn't make that much of a difference. But I did the math today and here's an example. Let's say my bw is 160 and my weight added is 100: 70% of my weight-added only is 70 lbs. But if I add my bw to the calculation my 70% is 20 lbs...
The closer you get to your max the less it matters, but that's a massive difference during the lower percentage parts of the block.
Seems like common sense but it took me almost a year of TB to realize it.
Plus if you use your BW in calculations, it keeps things more in line if you're gaining or losing weight (or maybe I want an excuse for when I start to get fat!)
WPU
Re: WPU
WPU for me is completely different animal.
I did use my BW for initial TM calculation before starting the whole TB journey. I do not do re-testing and I have been forced progressing by just adding 5-fish lb to the TM without re-adjusting depending on my BW. So, I might be doing the whole thing wrong.. But it seems to be working so far..
