How long do you take to recover from maxing out?

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 go to failure every set. I hit that body group again ~3-4 days after the workout.

I alternate a heavy bench workout with a light/speed bench workout. You can’t bench heavy every session without a break or a deload.

Depends mate. Firstly on the individual and also your level of proficiency. A beginner for example could potentially max out every week without over training while an advanced athlete may test a max only every few months. The stronger you become, the more taxing lifts are on your CNS/recovery ability.

I agree with Bob...
Everyone is different in that aspect.
