I like how this bloke advocates perfect reps every time and to avoid grinding the weight (ie training close to or at failure) because it greases improper motor patterns, trains you to stop at the sticky points, and does not help to increase your strength at all.
He says train 70-80% of your...

I am getting confused! What's going on.
I can't give reps out to anyone for ages now. You must spread more rep before giving it to this person again. Well, c'mon having to rep the whole forum just to be able to re-rep again is a bit pointless, no? no? :confused:

This question was inspired by reading the article linked from the thread
Light vs. Heavy Weight High reps or low reps for muscle growth? - flexonline

Defense: Lifting heavy weight is what separates the men from the boys and allows bodybuilders to make the biggest gains in mass. In fact, some of the largest bodybuilders to ever grace the posing dais were ex-powerlifters.
Prosecution: Lifting with light weight and higher reps...

Here's something I'm interested in hearing from you guys. In your training, when and how do you incorporate cheat reps? Do you strictly stick to perfect form?
Take cable rows for example, do you use strict form, keeping your torso steady the entire time, or do you do it more explosive and have...

This challenge is to see how many times you can squat your bodyweight for reps.
-Bodyweight squat means your bodyweight on the bar
-Bar must be a minimum of your bodyweight, always round up. Can't squat 225 for reps if you weigh 226.
-Must not rack bar during whole set
-All squats must be at...
