Talo I want to see if Training at 100% (1RM - max effort) is superior or not to Training at 95% of 1RM. It's why I train Left arm with a maximum weight and the Right arm with a lighter weight. In a few weeks/months I'll test my 1RM on the Right Arm to see if it's weaker-as strong-stronger than the Left Arm.
I already did such tests with lower intensities (80%, 85% and 90%) but I was only able to REgain strength or maintain strength, no real gains. It's why I have to do a final test woth 95% and this time I'm nearly sure that I'll be able to make the same gains compared to 100%. BTW if you are doing multiple singles you can train at lower intensities because of cumulative fatigue. It's the same process as in a set of consecutive reps. It's my believe that Cumulative Fatigue is not the best way to achieve an Hypertrophic Stimulation and might even be counterproductive. I think One Rep Training is the way to go and is even superior to multiple singles which are superior to sets.
EricT you may be right but I chose this path... and I won't go back. If my journal is a problem (non-sense, bullshit) I'll leave the forum.
