I think all my joints would collapse like a dying star if I did 1-3 rep max work, if all the tendons in my body didn't snap first. :-)

You don't go max. You want an effort level of 8-9 so you always want to have at least a rep or two left in the tank.

If you are constantly hitting max weight then you will fry your CNS.

If you look at the top level powerlifters and strongman they rarely train anywhere near their potential max lift.

it's also why most strongman carry 20%+ bf. It helps stabilize and lubricate the joints.

Has nothing to do with his comment.

Nothing wrong with knowing how your body is functioning. If you think your doctor is running all the necessary tests to make sure you are fully healthy you are wrong.

Just got back from the gym.

5 sets of 2 reps at 235 lbs on Bench.

Beat that, old men.

In all seriousness, who is the most yoked planeteer?

Anyone moving serious weight on here?

I did 295/455/575 in 1933

Loochy is basically a Greek God, and that's not an exaggeration.

What are these comments?

1. Heavier loads and lower reps cause LESS fatigue
2. Heavier loads change the collagen makeup of the tendons so they become STIFFER leading to LESS injury and injury potential

My bests in competition raw was 660 squat no belt no wraps, 485 close grip bench and a 725 deadlift

I walk around at about 240 now close to single digits and have been off all the sauce for about 10 years
