Grease the Groove Strength Practice at 75–85% 1RM

Practice moderately heavy lifts frequently while staying fresh, treating strength like a skill rather than a max-effort test. Use roughly 75–85% of your one-rep max and keep each set well short of failure, around half or fewer of the reps you could do at max. The goal is to accumulate high-quality practice and neural efficiency without excessive fatigue, so you can train often and recover well.

1 / 2

So to summarize the grease the groove, you're trying to train moderately heavy as often as possible while staying as fresh as possible.
