Have you ever wondered why we don’t lift for max loads every time? Why we do lifts at certain percentages? Here are a few reasons.1) Technique - By lifting with a percentage of your max, you are capable of focusing more on certain parts of the lift and less on the actual weight. The best part - better technique results in more weight being lifted down the road. 2) Recovery - It gives time for your joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and CNS to repair. If you constantly barrage your bodies with max loads, there's no chance for recovery or repair. 3) Overtraining - When you work at percentages, you lower your risk of overtraining. Going for a max load every day can really break you down. It could cause persistent muscle soreness and fatigue, elevated cortisol, and increased chance of injuries.
