I just maxed out on bench Friday i believe. Feeling drained and could not bench heavy today. When you all max out how long do you take recover from that?

I rarely do all out 1RM efforts any more (the older I get, the more it wrecks my ability to get quality sleep) but I usually work up to a 3-5RM on the big lifts (squat, deadlift, OHP, incline press, rowing/pulling movements) each "week".

I put "week" in quotes because I don't have the recovery to fit my split into 7 days, so I usually alternate between the four exercises I listed every 8-9 days. Seems to be the sweet spot for me in terms of being able to recover, muster enough neural drive so that I can get the most out of those high effort days, and stagger movements to keep my joints happy.
