Makes a lot of sense. That mind muscle connection and really focusing on muscular activation is key

I agree. I don't go above 3 plates on bench because it's not worth the risk of injury as well.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

That's only true for enhanced genetic freaks...For the average natty joe they will need a strength program to begin the gains
Its not about the weight numbers its about how much you can move without having a bad bad grinder or fail
I like to train with heavy weight because it gets me bigger, its more functional and it strokes my ego seeing people astonished
Therefore I go up to a weight that I can only do for 1 rep sometimes (90% + of 1rm) but a smooth, gorgeous rep that's quality AF sometimes for multiple sets of singles
Then I'll have some days where I go higher reps and controlled
Cliffs:
DO BOTH Heavy weight and low reps + medium weight and higher repsJournal: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139898123&page=240

You can get great hypertrophic results by simply slowing your rep cadence (ex. 5 seconds up, 1-second pause, 5 seconds down, 1-second pause, and repeat). You won't be able to use as much weight but the amount of effort exerted by your muscles will be intense and given sufficient recovery time, they will grow. More importantly, you'll avoid injuries and/or premature wear and tear.

I dont bench over 225 either.
Not for any particular reason other than i physically cant because its heavy."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.

So I watch a lot of the 4 guys in squares discussion that guys have now on podcasts and there currently is a debate about form , ego lifts and what grows a chest.
Both nick derek and flex described not getting the real feel of chest contractions for years after training, only then did it begin to change.There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

In all seriousness, before he moved to another state the biggest dude in my gym - who was on a ton of gear - did incredibly slow reps with lighter weights. I watched him do a set of squats one night; 60kg - 6 seconds down, pause two seconds, 3 seconds back up.
Same cadence with a 60kg bench press, 40kg overhead press; he did 5 bodyweight dips per set with the same cadence and he was doing lat pulldowns again the same way. Only ever saw him do machine preacher curls, same.
Dude was a fukin beast and had about 6 guys he was training with the same way, all big dudes. He'd get in, eat in the lounge area post training then disappear - when his mates weren't training with him (more often than not they wouldn't have him there) they'd do the one set of training then 5 sets of yakking that Ahnold used to hate. But the lack of intensity didn't affect their gains.RAW DOG CREW LIEUTENANT
