Check out this quote from Joe.
“Max Effort Upper Body Day - The max effort method is the best method for developing maximal strength. In my opinion, max effort work should be the “nuts and bolts” of any strength-training program. If you’re weak, you’re dead!”
It’s well stated. He believes that any strength training program should have the max effort method in it. Does Mark Rippetoe, Madcow, and Bill Starr espouses the ME method? No. They look down at beginners like me as if we are not capable of anything other than doing 5 repetitions with the squat. What exactly have they accomplished? How many people have they trained who went from scrap to elite? Did you know that Mike Wolfe, only bench pressed 200 pounds his senior year? Look where he is today… He was mentored by the likes of Louie Simmons.[/quote]
Joe DeFranco’s ME is done for heavy sets of 3 or 5 and the Madcow, Bill Starr, Rip, Pendelay, ect. 5x5 program includes a day for heavy 5s and heavy 3s
…what’s the argument?

The argument is that the guy hasn’t spent any time in the gym, so he doesn’t actually KNOW enough to realize that they are saying the same thing. He THINKS he knows stuff but really he just regurgitates what he has read. Really, he needs the EXPERIENCE to be able to actually UNDERSTAND and INTERPRET what these guys are saying.
Basically, all the book smarts in the world are making this kid sound like a dumbass, and the biggest thing standing in the way is that he thinks that by the book answers are the “right” answers.
