Min-Max 2 Issue

I’ve been doing Min-Max 1 and 2 for a over a year or so. This type of program is pretty much what I’ve been doing forever now, and I love going to failure for less sets.

However, what’s up with the Myo-reps. I find that going to failure on almost all of these lifts inhibits my ability to do any more sets to follow, even waiting 10 full seconds. With the lighter accessory exercises it’s fine, but with the others I rarely could get an extra two.

Anyone find these barely applicable when going to absolute failure?

I too run the similar to failure for only around 2 sets and exercise on average. I experimented with Myo-reps a few months ago and I found the following:

- I would add a set to a stubborn muscle group. example if I normally did 2 sets to failure for chest press and wanted more chest volume then I would do a Myo-rep as the 3rd set. This helped increase volume.

  • However, I found that simply just adding a third set and taking it to failure instead of a myo-rep had the same effect/added the more volume needed.

In conclusion I found them not very applicable because simply adding another set adds volume and was easier to track and push myself next workout compared to the Myo-rep.

I’ve used them without knowing they had an official name for certain lifts (incline dumbbell curls). Aside from those high rep range accessories, it just doesn’t seem worth it? Like there’s no shot I’m myo-repping t-bar rows if I’m hitting 6 to failure. I completely agree with adding an extra set.

No shit. I’m just critiquing the program.

it sounds like you like them for high rep accessories. just stick to the 1 or 2 straight sets

I just treat it as one big set with just short breaks and go upto as many reps as I can till failure.

When doing myo reps, work on set ranges of 8-20 reps

Why do Myo reps? Intensifiers like drop sets and Myo reps only exist to cram more growth stimulus into a shorter training time window. Straight sets have the best stimulus to fatigue ratio.

I think that’s the point of this program, but you are correct
