Ive noticed a lot of people on this site prefer to gauge their progress by how many reps they can do of a certain weight rather than by the maximum weight they can lift once. Personally i love doing 1RM and aiming for new PB's its what i train for, to find out what my absolute maximum strength is. i do like knowing how many reps i can do of my bodyweight of an exercise and i do use this to gauge progress but reps of any other weight is pretty much meaningless to me, they just go towards making that attempt at a new 1RM PB successful. So what do you prefer and why?
pushing to the limit in each and every workout then attempting to break your previous 1RM
If I told you how fast it was improving you would call me a liar, I'll let David answer lol
We do 4 week micro cycles in the main part.
Other times we have used 12 week cycles.
On bench we do 5 x 5 one session and speed work with either bands or chains the next, followed by heavy tricep assistance work.
We use negatives sparingly on bench, although one guy raised his bench from 100kg to 146kg, doing 205kg negatives in the process.
NPR's PB went from 110kg to 142.5kg in 17 weeks on my bench program.
One lifter has gone from a 450kg total for SQ-BP-PC-OH-DLto 623.5kg in 11 months.
We've got strength covered at PTC.
I've seen guys on here deadlifting 110kg after 4 years. WTF. I have 38 lifters in a garage deadlifting between 200-265kg. PTC is less than 2 years old.
PC? OH (Overhead press)?,
