ME and DE workout>??

[jypoll]

I have noticed some people refer to their workout as "DE bench day" or "ME bench day". what does it mean and whats the difference?

[Maverick_J8]

ME = Max Effort (heavy low rep benching)

DE = Dynamic Effort (speed bench / fast and explosive reps with light weight)

These are principles advocated in powerlifting; specifically well known with Westside Barbell. Read up on it.

so essentially, switch every other week between the two?

my split is

1 chest (ME bench)
2 back
3 legs
4 tri's bi's (DE bench @ 40% of 1rm)
5 shoulder rehab, abs, more simple leg work
