Stop thinking like this.
You are making progress with your current volume correct?

I make progress with both. And I enjoy low reps more than high reps. But the results I’ve been getting from the high reps is what I need to compete.

Yeah but you have your head on all sideways about it…
You can still lift in a lower rep range and get in the volume. You can still focus on getting stronger in a “'hypertrophy” rep range.
You are over complicating a simple thing.

I already know that I can get stronger with high reps. I just said yesterday that what used to be my 3RM I can now do for 8 reps.
I understand what’s being said, and I already know this. I’m not saying that you have to sacrifice one for the other. It’s just… the best of both worlds for me. I like doing the higher reps, but I also like pushing my body to my limits with single reps. It’s more mental for me.

You should be able to pwn 185. But we’ll get to why or why not in a min.
[quote]How many days off did you have before you tried pulling a max?
Was probably 2 days off and it was quite some time ago. Haven’t had the guts to try again plus started working with TG and things were put on hold for 3 months.[/quote]
How do you react from a carb-up? (bass is right btw) Do you pep up the same day, the next day or two days later?
A two day carb up for me makes my Mondays good, etc.
[quote]How is/was life stress?
Life stress is practically gone right now.
How focused were you?
Hm…I felt pretty focused at the time.[/quote]
Focus may or may not be part of your issue.
You need to start. Either get caffeine pills, or drink as much energy drinks or coffee you can get away with. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN A JITTERY STATE. You need to be amped but calm enough to think and behave in a normal manor.
I can drink a grande redeye and take a 200mg pill, after 4-6 diet cokes throughout the day, and be okay. You would be better off with less I’m sure. lol
[quote]How long ago did you try 185? Where did you fail?
4 months ago. I couldn’t hit 190. Stayed at 185.
Thanks![/quote]
I meant where in the lift did you fail?
Did you break the floor?

NO KIDDING! Now that summer is over, I’m done with baked potatoes. I quivered with fear when trav posted the fatal combo! (:
I think Deb can kill 195 for a single, first try, with a few carbs in her and an iced coffee during warmup.
I think it’s just mind over matter.
And if she’s been low-carbing it, then some pizza will help
