..As I mentioned in a few previous posts, now that training is being re-focused and I have a new gym/job/schedule, I dropped my training maxes all down 30-40 lbs to start getting a running start to increasing them again. This means pretty high rep AMRAP sets on my lighter weeks (and even on my higher-percentage ones). This always leads to higher max strength for me, especially as my work capacity and muscle increases.
