I GAINED trouble [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This is a bad spot but I'll be better when I can forget about my dangerous week and less than an hour of being an EQ God! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Until you tear a muscle and become unable to train this body area for a year or two, quickly losing all previous gains.

your post is a troll because you didnt give your opinion or supporting information mead, why even bother posting?

My philosophy and contributions are well documented here already. You workout according to whatever your goals are. Generally speaking, most people powerlifting go for a 1 rep max. If I’m reading what you’re saying right, he’s saying people should be maxing out with 4 reps instead less than that. Most people generally max out with 1 rep, and base your following workouts according to that. But you can have a personal record (PR) of 2-4 which is great. But it means you can actually lift more than that. So you structure workouts to increase your max, and then work on your more rep PRs.
