    I took 80% of my max, going from 5x3 to 5x4, and I definitely increased my max squat(I pause on all reps). Your body gets used to that weight more, increasing your max. I still don't fully understand it, but it has worked out for me twice now. So, if you want a straightforward answer, spam 80 to 85 percent, and you will gain something.

    “5 weeks post-op, wtf is your excuse”.
    I’m nearly 5 weeks from a shoulder dislocation torn labrum torn bicep shaved off cartilage and much more. Couldn’t raise my arm past my hip or lift any weight for that matter. Surgery is still 50/50 but I’m Giving rehab hell and I’m now bench pressing 60lbs dumbells, weighted overhead pressing and beginning to get back to pull-ups. Great vid Mike, great motivation!

      Rexwell Flowers I don’t know what you’re taking about but it sounds like you need to pick up a hobby. Check out his other vids, he gives good advice.

    It's amazing to see a person who can bench more than 315 warm up with the barbell! Drop the ego peeps
