Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370 965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq	Alot of guys train to near max all the time, i tried this and kept getting niggles not exactly injuries but nigges all the time! I find now that faster powerfull reps of 3/4s 5s are much better don't see the need for maxing now, just when my reps are considerably better and a PB is comfortable instead of a massive grind

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	ive always maxed out quite regularly on my pressing with good results. generally wouldnt max out on the same exercise week in week out though. id do say jerks one week, push press the next, log press etc.

I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	at comps mostly, very rarely do I max out in training

Obvious Juicer Member 1613, 1036 posts SQ 185, BP 140, DL 220 545.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq	i used to max out almost every week, but now i know that the best strength range is 3RM for a training max out, and 5RM for general strength training. Leave 1RM for competitions!

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22062 posts	I was training near max all the time and regularly attempting PBs. I made progress with this style of training. I'm now experimenting with some reps to see what happens.
