See this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. I don't know whether he means a 300 lb 1RM or 300 lb 5RM. I'm assuming the latter. How is this an explantion of how the kind of 5x5 he's talking works? You can talk about the weights being submaximal all you want but the fact is that by the time that bencher reaches that point the volume is getting up there for him. That example would only confuse most beginners.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
