That’s a good idea regarding testing without the cardio. I’ll give that a go. I am doing both heavy deadlifts and weighted pullups in this particular set. My exercise selection when doing this has been to filter out quad dominant movements.

I don’t want to stray too far from my question but, at what point though is it enough, as far as progressing strength? Should we always be trying to increase? I feel my strength level is intermediate for a gym rat.  Should that be enough to just maintain that for the rest of my life/career?
