Max effort work to build absolute strength

June 20, 2018

Transcribed from video:

– Let’s talk about max effort. So max effort is where you are lifting, lifting heavy, it can no longer be as fast. So maybe you’re not generating as much power, this is your max effort strength work. This is where you would be doing your five-by-fives, your five-by-threes, your heavy singles, just grinding, heavy work. The aim here is that you’re trying to turn on, you’re trying to innovate as many of these motor units, these muscle fibres, as you possibly can. Okay, just because it’s important to build power and lift heavy doesn’t mean that you don’t go max effort as well.
