When the Workout Calls for Max Effort - Friday, May 30th, 2025

When the Workout Calls for Max Effort

You see it on the whiteboard: Max Effort or ME.
It’s bold, it feels intense, and it can make you wonder, what exactly does it mean?

So let’s clear it up.

Max Effort doesn’t mean go crazy, it’s not meant to be extreme effort.
It certainly doesn’t mean throw form out the window or push so hard you can’t function for the rest of the day.

What is does mean is:

• Give what you have today.

• Push yourself with intention.

• Go to your limit, but keep it safe, smart, and within the mechanics you’ve been coached on.

For some of us, that means dialing back a little because our body needs it that day. For others, it means pushing a little harder. Max Effort is relative, it’s your best today, not a blanket target for everyone.

When we program Max Effort, it’s a chance for you to:

• Learn where your limits are.

• Build mental toughness.

• Test your capacity, and grow.

But it’s all within reason, and it’s never about chasing reckless intensity. It’s about getting better for tomorrow, and training with focus and integrity.

So next time you see Max Effort on the board, remember:

• It’s your opportunity to see what you’re capable of.

• It’s a time to push, but also to move well.

• And it’s a chance to do something hard, something that helps you build resilience inside the gym and outside of it.

It’s meant to be challenging but not crushing.
