Christ it must not be clear:
What is the peak intensity you hit in most of your sessions? Do you hit 85% and above for most of the year?
What I am saying, and what I have said in this and the other thread where we butted heads, is that AT LEAST SOME of your reps need to be in the >85% range, and preferably in the >90% range. I’m not setting a specific number or percentage, but a rough estimate would be that at least 10%, and as much as 20%, of reps should be in the >85% range if optimizing strength development is a primary goal. Lifting in the 70-80% range without EVER going into the >85% is not the optimum method for improving max strength…which is what some have implied, and you seem to be defending.
I am defending it because I have had success doing it and many others will continue to have success doing minimal work @ 85% and above for a 1rm. Perhaps it is done, perhaps it is not. But beyond simply the majority of reps, but the majority of entire sessions never hit an intensity of 85% or greater (meaning entire workouts, not just reps leading up to the top sets like you keep trying to wiggle in).
