For a Powerlifter, work capacity is highly
specific - there are three major lifts that a Powerlifter will need to
perform three
times each
during a meet (with a total competition
period of exertion in the region
of 20 - 30 seconds over a 3 - 4 hour meet), so one could think that work capacity is almost irrelevant - yet to maximize training benefit the ability to repeatedly handle near maximal weights with good form and recover adequately between work sets may be highly desirable.
Outside
of using it to piece together the data below, to check if a fund lived up to expectations, or to see how bonds
performed during a
specific time period or event, past performance has its limits.
