There is something about Max Effort days. It doesn't matter if it's the 6 rep max, the 3 rep max, or the rarely used in my program, the single rep.

But every time you need to "man up" to lift a max, there is something inside of us that switches to "ON".

Sure, it's a bit scary at times, but really...who cares? So you go for it.

If you get it, you feel accomplished and it builds courage while it definitely builds your strength.

If you don't get it, you feel the RAGE build up inside until the only outlet is a well-time primal yell of, "F U C K"...

That anger is the motivation that I will use the NEXT time!

So no matter what, lifting heavy becomes a "win-win".

Approach the heavy stuff with reckless abandon and FEVERISH perversion.

"Stack on another plate, Please..."
