I base all my barbell lifting percentages on 90% of my 1RM or my 'training max'. I learned this from the outstanding 'Tactical Barbell' and Wendler's 5/3/1 has the same approach. So I will hit my 85%+ range once per month maximum- either singles across or sets of 3 across. I recover very well from squats/bench using this type of programming- but deadlifting takes its' toll! So I'm trialling the "Daily Dose Deadlift" technique now- but having trouble staying consistent. That's another story entirely. Also- it is fantastic that this thread has stayed on the 'main page' instead of being bumped deep into the 'Other' category/ 50+ zone.
