doing working sets is good. but why are some of you so adamantly against attempting to max out 1RM. what is the logic behind it?
-
You just found out why you're getting stuck and keep getting pinned.
-
a max set is a working set. not sure who you're saying is against working up to a 1RM. i'm doing that right now every workout and loving it. kf does it almost every single day. but there's a difference between trying to hit absolute PR's every day, which is a huge drain on CNS, and working up to a max that you can handle.
-
In other words - a difference between a daily max and a true, psyche-out max.
-
The training max should have very little grind correct?
-
Well yeah, pretty much. It should be very difficult but not at the level where you need to psyche out and burn on the CNS a ton in order to complete that rep.
The idea is to stimulate, not to annihilate. When you psyche out you overload the CNS and you're going to need a ton of recovery time to get back to your old self. A daily max is just a hard rep but nothing so hard that you can't recover from pretty quickly.

Hey be optimistic - there's still time!

grind as in how smooth upward motion is?
Yeah none of those 5 second slow grinders... The rep should slow down a little but not enough to allow a grind
