I agree. This post along with the dl and squat max effort post should be made sticky.

Just wondering why this is titled "max effort exercises"? These just seem to be bench variations without any indication to the intensity.

Great post anyway.:)

Because they are all variations that can be used for max effort lifts within the westside, or any other conjugated training plan. They are the lifts that will have the greatest carryover for powerlifting, and they all lend themselves to being done at high intensities.

Of course that's not to say that they couldn't be used otherwise?

Nope, no reason why not.

Certain lifts are just more effective than others at higher intensities (big lifts, oly, etc) because of their nature. Now, while these lifts can still be done at a lower intensity or even for supplemental work, the inverse is not necessarily true of other exercises.

You wouldn't do a 3rm rear delt raise, but there is no reason you can't do a 2 board press with chains for repetition work.
