Reflection 10/3/18: After my meeting with Andy, he mentioned several ways to help achieve the maximum amount of competencies for empirical reasoning. The biggest change I need to bring about is the change from a normal workout to a circuit workout. He said that measuring a max bench press only once is not accurate because of all the different variables affecting it. The best way is to create a baseline such as heart rate. In my new workout, I will create a circuit training that focuses on improving my efficiency in completing a circuit training workout vs. improving my max bench press. I will start by taking a baseline test of my resting heart rate. I will workout until I reach my peak heartrate. I will see how many cycles I have completed by the tie I peaked. I will try to improve this number by doing circuit training every other day. Andy also mentioned me creating a hypothesis for everything I do, thinking in terms of a science experiment. In addition, since the human body has many different variables that cannot be controlled, I need to record any variables that may affect my workout and performance. To record my max vertical height, Andy recommended that I jump 10 times and average it out. Each jump may vary in height so jumping multiple times is the best way to get an accurate representation of my max vertical jump. To sum up everything, I needed to make my workout more measurable  in the sense that I can show improvement in a way that minimizes the amount of altered variables and uses multiple different numbers.
