For Max Effort work no more than 3 reps. Alot of sets. Usually make sure I get in at least 5 work sets but sometimes I may work up to a triple off the chest, triple on a 2 board and triple on a 3 board in the same day. I count all sets over 315 lbs. and That would look something like Chest-315x3, 335x3, 350x3, 2 Board- 355x3, 365x3, 370x3, 3 board- 375x3, 380x3, 385x3. That right there would be 9 work sets. That was just an example.
