I'm wondering if I am wasting my time still doing exercises with my 5rm while doing negatives with other exercises in excess of my 1rm.
For instance, I'm doing chin-ups with 50 pounds strapped around my waist. But I can't do this kind of thing with 1-arm rows, so I've continued to use my 5rm. I suspect that any damage I'm doing is the result of the chin-ups and that the rows are just wasting my time/energy.
Similarly, between the chin-ups and very heavy deadlifts, I suspect that my biceps are getting all they need and I should drop the curls at this point. Maybe even tricep and delt work too? Don't really know. Opinions?
