Mr. Tate, thank you . This type of post is pure gold, as Sam Smith commented it is hard to quantify the value of info like this from top level coaches to lifters like me. Although they are free, vids like this,with real world info, help promote the sport and improve the quality of the lifter pool out there. The sense of community that is being built is exciting to watch, weight training is finally coming into it's own thanks to the generosity and love for the iron of men like yourself. Thank you again.
Looking well Dave! Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate the advice of advanced lifters and top coaches putting this information out for free, hard to quantify how valuable this is to those like myself with only a few years lifting experience trying to reach the realm of respectable numbers
I'm an intermediate level lifter and I have always responded better (as far as strength gains) to sets of 3 or more. I never responded as well with heavier singles/doubles. Perhaps that is a reflection on my programming rather than the singles/doubles themselves, but I know what I see results with versus what I don't. I like the Lamar Gant approach to lifting as he has said in a video before that singles aren't good for training; it's reps make you stronger.
The differentiating factor about the max effort method is that you're doing MULTIPLE singles at 90%+ in a single training session, not just 1. 2-4 is the recommended target range. This sets heavy singles in the ME method apart from the random heavy singles people usually do in training because 1. It's consistent week to week, 2. The goal is to strain numerous times in a row in a single training session which has great carryover to neural drive adaptations AKA: top end strength.
One of the things I really appreciate that you do is, keep your terms and definitions simple. Example; when you said "dynamic correspondence" and then clarified as carryover. It shows you are trying to keep your terms and definitions very simple to communicate to what is most likely your biggest audience and that is, illiterate new lifters. I appreciate your ability to look at things and take the time to sound simple rather complicated because that's carried over to your career today and that's probably the single best thing since your audience can understand what you're saying.
i wish dave would go more into more of the when you need speed strenght and what the heck and where to put it into your program... how do you know you are slow or fast??? etc is this the repeated method or dynamic?
It's several ways you can go about it. Max effort is based on the Bulgarian method were you work up to a heavy max for THAT PARTICULAR DAY. But to answer your question, yes, you can do 3 singles @ 90%, 95% & 100% and be done for the day. As long as the weight you're lifting is 90% & above, you should be fine.

Great video, thank God Dave is back
Always great content that I learn alot from. Thanks for putting out such high quality info Dave.
Wow!!! I needed to hear this perspective

speed strength is acquired from the dynamic effort, louie has some ramblings on this and matt Wenning has some whiteboard videos on speed-strength
@@maximummomo8210 thanks
This show how much more ahead of the game was soviet union in strength sports
Great stuff, thanks Dave.
I knew I wasn't the only one have a hard time trying to figure out how to fit doubles In my program! Shits confusing lol
Pretty sure is always be under shooting a 3rm. Or over shooting snd missing
Wise words from a master.
And how much Loui was ahead of the game also
I do singles at an rpe of 1. Is that helpful?
No drop the weight and work on form
Good point
So ME days are supposed to be singles and thats it always? In order to work the most amount of sets in the high 90s percentile?
It's several ways you can go about it. Max effort is based on the Bulgarian method were you work up to a heavy max for THAT PARTICULAR DAY.

So would you do max effort work for a meet prep?
pleease keep posting these kinds of vids
So skip 5x5s?
Nuff said. Thank you. Listen up dummies
How comes this guy is so strong yet have weak yoke gains??
yoke gains... like size? He is retired I'm pretty sure.
