Sometimes you need volume, and lower percentages, and sometimes you need to try to bust out rep PR's. Trying for 1 rep maxes is in no way comparable to doing 1 set for as many reps as possible.

Does that extend to max-rep sets? Wouldn't that mean that higher volume without going to failure would be better than one high rep balls-out set to failure?jalezithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268783249718550378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-24121339133405409722013-07-26T05:01:56.425-07:002013-07-26T05:01:56.425-07:00Post meet I don't remember going into the 90+%...Post meet I don't remember going into the 90+% range at all. I think I did incline at 365x8. I did do a single at 425 but you have to remember, that's TESTING, not building. It's the reps that build the 425, not singles that do that. <br /><br />I think I did the easy 455 front squat. Probably could have done a set of 3-5 with it without much thought. So that might be upper 80&#Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-49468758537169398862013-07-26T02:40:16.887-07:002013-07-26T02:40:16.887-07:00Paul, that's what I am talking about.

So I eventually told him I didn't understand the whole SIT BACK, SIT BACK cue. It felt wrong doing them, could never get it down no matter how hard I tried. Lol, so he eventually scratched that off my routine and now it is just Necromanteionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136606764018468319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-45823071505467229142013-07-25T19:25:38.412-07:002013-07-25T19:25:38.412-07:00Literally Lol'd at that analogy.
