This whole "I can bust pr's anytime" sentiment is all well and good in theory but even the world's best lifters use progressive resistance and peaking before competitions. I doubt Coan went "oh hell, might try 20 reps squats tonight, fuck training for the rest of the week."
To be blunt, I think its stupid. Another band wagon idea from the messiah...
Do you train to Peak?
Can you perform to 99% of your capacity, 100% of the time?
Unless you have only been training for a week, actually getting stronger every day is impossible. It takes months and years.

This is to be a civil conversation Gentlemen (and Eje lol).
This can apply to Powerlifting. Do you only PB at comp?
This can apply to Bodybuilding. Do you run at 6% bf all the time?
Discuss. Nicely!
If your competing in a powerlifting comp (as a few of us on here do) why would you not tailor your training the competition?
If you train to be able to hit 90% of your max anytime anywhere then thats cool.
Personally I wouldn't be happy with leaving 10% on the platform.
I'd much rather hit whatever i need to in training to make sure I hit 110% of my max on comp day.
Bart Cummings, Sir Alex Ferguson (and a few other you can think of) share a common secret about 'peaking' their charges after 100's of years of combined experience.
That is: they cannot perform at 100% for an entire season, lest their season end very prematurely.
So instead, they perform at an elite level, for much of the their seasons, and peak at the most important point.
Therefore, I'd say they peak for somwhere around only 5-10% of their performances?

not really a secret and is a method adopted in almost every sport there is
