Handbook For The Recently Deceased

The last article ended somewhat abruptly, due to the nature of my priorities, or perhaps the priorities of my nature. In either case, I regret nothing. Though I sought to make the tables as simple as possible, I'm sure I failed. The only thing more certain than the accuracy of my writing is its incomprehensibility. That being said, any ambiguities which may exist are explained in the notes below. I know it reads like stereo instructions, but give it a try, anyway. 

• "Wide" stance means as wide as can be maintained with hips below knees and neutral foot position. This is not very wide for most people.
• "Jump" stance is slightly inside the hips with quadriceps loaded. The same stance that would be taken with a hang clean. 
• Hip Angle is a measure of the position of the hip in relation to the knee, where 0 degrees is vertical alignment with hip above knee, and 180 degrees is vertical alignment with knee above hip.
• Leverage is an approximation of the lifter's mechanical advantage given their position in relation to the bar. A more advantageous lever requires less applied force to break inertia. 
• As mechanical advantage increases, a successful lift is increasingly determined by [external] force distribution.
• As mechanical advantage decreases, a successful lift is increasingly determined by [intramuscular] force generation. 
• Rep range is my suggestion based on the applicability of each exercise towards certain ends.
• A properly executed Sumo Deadlift requires torque from lateral rotation and abduction, which means stance must be reset after every rep. 
• Intensity is expressed as a percentage of Conventional 1RM. You can't lift 105% of your 1RM, and you shouldn't attempt a 1RM with a Stiff-Legged Deadlift. 

• The Primary Joint Actions are the mechanical processes by which the majority of work is done.
• The Secondary Joint Actions are the mechanical processes by which a comparatively smaller, but uniquely relevant amount of work is done.
• Initiation reflects the muscle group which exerts the greatest amount of force on the bar from the starting position. 
• Sticking Point is, for various reasons, the most likely place where the war against gravity will be lost.
• Limiting Variable is the most common impediment to proper execution.
