Measuring Intensity

How do you measure the “intensity” of “high intensity training”? That’s easy. It’s already been done by smart people. People like Isaac Newton and James Watt (who coined the term, ’horsepower’). As far as your body is concerned, the intensity of any workout is defined by the amount of weight it has to lift and the amount of time it has to lift it. Lifting 100 pounds in 20 seconds has “x” amount of intensity. Lifting 100 pounds in only 10 seconds has “2x” intensity, since you have to do the same work in half the time. This is very helpful! Suddenly, if you bench pressed 200 pounds for 10 reps on Monday, then bench pressed the same 200 pounds for the same 10 reps on Thursday.
