My body is starting to tell me the same thing.
I agree. Although I did have Chris Bumstead as 1st at the Olympia.
I do as well. But as stiffe posted I haven't seen that much growth either from going past that line. I am not stating don't train hard and push it. For me though I didn't see much benefit from pushing it to the max and when following more strength sytle training programs would often stain things over time. I would rather squat 2-4 plates and push the reps then go heavier for low reps. That's just me though and some guys only benefit from pushing the weight.
Same here....I rarely go over 3 plates anymore as I don't use knee wraps or sleeves. What I like doing us warming up to 315....maybe 365 at times....and keep reps high.
I then do drop sets. Down to 275 for as many reps as possible....then down to 225 for the same.
Just rest long enough to unload the bar. So 365 may be 8-10 reps, 275 for 10+ reps, then 225 I will try to hit at least 20 reps. This last set is a faster tempo....more of a piston type range of motion with constant tension.
My legs actually grow pretty easily....quads especially. So I'm beginning to focus more on hamstrings lately.
