Over the course I did my Tedtalk on this new project and got to explain why the motion creates so many injuries. I also figured out that I would be doing a google slides presentation rather than a research paper because it is so much easier to do slides. This project is very easy going and I am almost done creating my slides.

Today I changed my project to why softball pitching results in certain injuries. I thought this would be smart to create because I play softball and would like to share my knowledge with you about the sport. Pitching is a very strainful task and not many pitchers know how to throw staying completely relaxed. Many different reasons to why a pitch does not work or how injuries can be created.

This past week has been difficult finding research because I am trying to find more experiments on heavy and light lifting, not just information on the topic. Conducting an experiment for anything to do with lifting takes a ton of time off your hands, and your results have to be tracked throughout your experiment. Doing more research, breaking the project down into what is better for a one repetition maximum is harder than it looks, because all the sources talk about are why it is not good to only max out all the time. The higher the reps, the more endurance, the lower the reps and higher the weight, the more strength, but which one is better for a higher repetition max? I am added a ton of sources together, citing each one in a document this week.

This week I filled out a 20% time proposal template that just asked me questions about my future plans on this project. I was asked questions like, ´´why is this project important, who will benefit from my project, and what will my final product be.´´ If you saw my recent blog you would see that I plan on doing a research paper for my project, and it will be about which lifter has a higher one rep max, low weights with high reps, or high weights with low reps. This project will benefit any curious weight lifters or people looking to gain quick strength.

For my first blog post, I will be talking about a research project I am working on for my Biomechanics class. This week, I have accomplished three ideas of how I could conduct a project on what type of lifting creates a higher one rep max. Knowing now that it will be very hard to make an experiment of two people trying out two different types of lifting exercises for longer than one month, so the research paper will be more helpful for this project. I plan on finding more sources and filling out my 20% weekly blog accountability by the end of the week.

Lifting high repetition with low weights vs. low repetition with high weights

I am here to create a research paper on what lifting creates a higher one rep max. I am doing this project to see if I have been lifting correctly the past couple years, to know if I will be the stronger person in the end comparable to the opposite type of lifter.

Why do this?

• Because it helps see which style of lifting is better off for you.
• Helps you see what you should be lifting with your weight and what isn’t necessary for you.

Here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• – This is used for people in my class to read my blogs
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• – Weight lifting, benefits to lifting certain weights
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• -More weight lifters and female body-builders
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
• -A settled, well complete, and organized blog
