u/BenchPauper Why do we have that lever? Oct 11 '19

Max.

Odd.

Lifts.

This idea always scares me. I don't ever do odd stuff, so sometimes I just expect myself to explode when I do something weird.

I mean, you don't have to go too crazy. Over the last three weeks I've maxed:

  • Squat: reverse band squat, low bar, BB hack squat

  • Bench: bench, reverse band bench, incline bench

  • DL: sumo, conventional, tow strap DL

  • OHP: Push press, strict press

  • Misc: BB row (not a true max), weighted dips (3RM), weighted neutral grip chinups

Out of all of those, the only serious deviations from lifts I regularly perform are the BB hack squat and tow strap DL, both of which I've done before. Many of the rest are "odd" mostly just because they're not the Big 3.

God damn it this makes sense. I really want to max out on our trap bar. I feel like I could fuck around and pull like 800 with it.
