I just think that having to create new ways to measure PRs is not all that elegant. The concept of biofeedback is an interesting one no doubt but true biofeedback relies on true measurement. Machines are used. Ones as simple as a thermometer or even a scale. Others mechanisms used for biofeedback are for more complicated and complex.Most, if not all in our strength community, are simply using "feel" and calling it "biofeedback." It seems like a fancy bow on a paper bag package to me. We all need to use "feel" and if we aren't than how would we know how to proceed? Train with purpose, Sandy Sommer RKC Amy,

Never been a swimmer and so I can't understand completely but as an ex-football player we also wanted to play our best each week. Certainly that didn't happen but the way we practiced and prepared enabled it to be somewhat realistic. Train with purpose, Sandy Sommer RKC Chris,

It can be adding more reps, moving more volume over the same time period, lifting the same volume in a shorter time period. All of these PRs show progress. Perhaps those of us trying out the biofeedback training should use the phrase "make progress every workout." I agree that pushing yourself beyond your limits is a recipe for injury. That's why I've enjoyed my journey so far using biofeedback. I'm learning what my body is capable of when I listen to what it is telling me. I can say that I make progress every training session, and that is what makes training so rewarding and addicting. Find what works for you to continue to reach for your best. Be smart and don't try to impress. The “PR every workout” concept does not revolve solely around the amount of weight used in a particular lift.

I remember when swimming, the goal wasn't to set a personal best every day, but at every meet. Did it always happen? No. We'd plateau from time to time. We'd hit it at the end of the year though. People see that, and think each time they do something they have to be like the athlete and set a new world record. Even if it's only the record in their world.
