How often do you change your ME move?

IMO i would do the 1rm first week, then 3 rep max, then 5 rep max if you want to do the same exercise three weeks in a row. but still recommend changin everyweek

I didn't see that MM has ME days or switches exercises. That's not what they preach on their website.

"As you can see there is much more volume done on sat then on Tuesday and nothing is set in stone. The workouts are dictated by the way we feel and where we feel we need the most work to produce improvement." S. Burns

This quote from Sebastion can be found at the bottom of MM's homepage.

What I consider MM ME day is their Saturday. I've taken the close grips and alternate them with chains or bands, and the boards or rack lockouts I may alternate with floor presses depending what the day feels like, or if I feel I'm burning out on that particular exercise.

For their Tuesday's, I don't change anything except the decline. Unfortunately I don't have access to one, or an incline for that matter.

I appreciate you reading my post Parabellum. I have been coming to this board as a guest for the last 15 months. I have read many of your posts and consider you as one of the more knowledgable members of this great board. I've learned alot and hope to share with others what I have found works for me.

Why would you reccommend that rep progression?
 
becuase you will get burnt out on the exercise and you wont lift as much for 1 rep as you can if you do it in the 3rd week. you should alternate each week

If you change every week, do you go for a 1RM every week?
 
essentially yes. every once in a while we will do something for triple if we are beat up or what not. or right after a meet we usually do triples of fives for a few weeks. but in general i do a 1rm each week.

Oh, I see, I was thinking of lowering the reps, instead of increasing them
 
I find that switching every two weeks works well. I set a number the first week then the second week I hopefully break that number.
