As far as I understand your prefer to work in lower rep ranges and believe you achieve different looks by using higher or lower reps (correct me if mistaken), I also understand that prior to the volume training for muscle growth you say in many articles to ramp up to a heavy 1RM to also develop strength and get the CNS tuned.
Question is. What would you say is the optimal 1RM percentage for the heavy work and for the volume work? I also know you don’t believe in cycling but any thoughts on this would be welcomed.
