Are you trying to tell me that going slightly higher in reps and slightly lower in weight until hitting failure doesn't stress you physically and mentally, nor accompishes anything? I don't understand that mentality when it is proven in practice to be false.
Didn't say that at all, I'm just trying to say that I've built by back by deadlifting very heavy weights, for me to NOW cut down the weights in half, lets say, and deadlift them to exhaustion would do
absolutely nothing in terms of strength gains or visual appereance of my back.
I do understand better what you're doing and what you're trying to accomplish after reading your last post, it's just not something I would recommend to a newb. I periodically cut down weights in half and focus on tempo, mind muscle connection and getting a great contraction and I find that I do get stronger, albeit slowly, and it does add another, perhaps more subtle, layer of muscle/definition. But this is not something I could ever bring my self to do with the deadlift; my favorite lift and the source of all my power.
Are you also trying to tell me that you look like a teenager in your 30's?
Yes, the teenagers usually think I'm one of them. Adults place me in my early 20's simply because no teenagers are built like me(no brag). I've always had an innocent looking face and the retenoids I use certainly have helped. My dad also has looked young all his life.
