I go with fully recovered. I can push myself hard. If I knew I’d be fully recovered the next day, there would be no limit.

The latter. I would be the best powerlifter at my weight if I just worked out hard enough to maintain my current level. I am a bit sad, I wouldn’t be the all weight class best powerlifter with 1.5X multiple though.

In a year you would bench 600, deadlift 1000 and squat 800
350*1.5=525!

Does this 1.5x come with stronger connective system? I’m seeing pec tears, hamstring pops, and disc issues.

If strength is the only objective, the latter. If strength is to support other athletic performance, the former.

the first one. The second one isn’t even in the running. I dare you to find a long-term strongman competitor who wouldn’t take that in a heartbeat.

IDK, a guy like Thor would forever be a legend with a 1.5X1100 lb = 1650 lb deadlift. Really, even the lower end deadlifters who “only” pull like 900, would have a 1350 lb deadlift. That would bring more money and fame than winning a WSM.

It was an easy choice for me. 1. Recovery (sleep/rest) I feel are my biggest issues. 2. I don’t really have a life outside of working and working out, so the extra time needed to recover would be very boring

Yup, this is me exactly to. Right now I’m hobbling around wondering if I can do legs tomorrow. Probably not, but if I could recover daily, I could work any muscle any day at any time.

If you took the latter option, you could add in PEDs to speed recovery to a normal amount of time, and be an absolute beast.
Well I didn’t know we had these options .

This describes the decade of my life between 15 and 25. Actually, almost to 35.

I reckon 90% of people over the age of 40 are going for the former here.
If there’s going to be a third option, I’d like it to be Always Wake Up Fully Recovered Regardless.

I’d probably go for the second option.
