As PR’s are concerned…

In the US, generally we have sold people on the idea that every workout should leave you exhausted and crippled. This is not the way.

Russians learned powerlifting one hundred years before we did.

Periodization and recovery.

I know people that lift heavy weights everyday and I don’t think they understand the endocrine demolition they’re proceeding with.

Being all assumptive w this reply. I didn’t say I max every session in the gym or that I am crippled or exhausted when I leave. I actually point out the contrary that my body feels much better (even though I am getting stronger and lifting more on average) and that I’m only there twice a week, giving myself ample rest time.

I wasn’t criticizing you I was agreeing with you……….

Got it. Wasn’t clear to me.

I never fully max bc I’m solo lifting and find it an unnecessary amount of stress.
