shoulders too tight to hold bar behind the neck for squats/good mornings

sure is, then couple with that most of them are raw benching in the 450 range and the 240+++ guys are raw benching 500 week in week out. eventually the shoulders need a break for them.

If I were that strong I wouldn't max out often. I know that's part of the westside credo though.
 
it can be when you have a ton of weight on your back week in week out. Those guys regularly do 800-1000 lb squats,

combined with 600 plus pound bench presses. also louie simmons is almost old enough to have served in WW2 lol . it is amazeing what he can lift for any age much less a man that old.

to save CNS fatigue they switch exercises to maxout on each week. they max out twice a week sometimes 3..

Hey Skar, do you keep a training log on here?

no u can find it on ironaddicts , i will keep one here next year maybe if /when i go back

he's still good for an easy 800 squat, ive seen him deadlift 700++ quite a few times.
 
I don't see how that saves on cns fatigue, they are still maxing. I'm talking doing max outs once or twice a month.

eventually your body wears down and you take it easy, but for the most part they are maxing out 2-3x a week year round.. i couldnt tell you the science, i do know it's been the strongest gym since 1980
