OK Ben I’ll try it.
I don’t think that my body recovers that quicky from a max effort. On the press ups for example if I max out I know for sure that I would not be able to do a second set with only 2 less reps within 10 seconds of the first set but thanks for making it clear.
i want to beat my pr of 25 pullups. whats a good weekly plan to follow? i have tried the GTG 3-4-5 days a week. 75% of max for 5-6-7 sets a day. i tried the bulgarian way of training. 2 days a week. 85-95% of max reps. do these 2x a day.
and i tried weighted pullups. sets of 10 down to 1 going from light to heavier weights. then every 6 months i test and still get 25. been this way a few years now.
thanks for ny help.

Exactly, I was addressing you. I was asking why you said no one cares about joules or this and that, obviously you were defending yourself. Whatever. Anyway my point was that strength isnt relative. Not even a little bit. Strength is how much weight can you move. You could say how much weight you can move for reps but the further you get from 1 rep the less you are measuring strength and the more you are measuring endurance. If you were to say strength was relative you could start bringing in any variable you want.
You compared weighted dips to max reps in a minute and mentioned they were two completely different types of strength. Do you think maybe that is because one is not even strength but muscle endurance? And that that is why they are different? Not because they are “different types of strength”?[/quote]
I’m not really sure you even know what you’re trying to say. Where does it say that strength+ how much weight you can move"??? I’ll wait why you try to look it up in the dictionary and find it. (Just in case you were wondering it doesnt) There are MANY different definitions of the word strength and that is why it is RELATIVE… Depends on how you’re applying the word.

I just tested my max. I can do 22 pull ups, from dead hang to chin over bar. I’ll test tomorrow full ROM pull ups (chest to bar).
