Apologies if you had your headphones while watching this
In the off-season, to generate productive muscle growth is to be 1% better than your previous session. However, pushing pass that limit requires PRECAUTION.
Screaming for the sake of screaming - letting emotion override structure - can disrupt your core tension, breath control, and positioning. That tiny lapse in bracing, especially under maximal load, is where injury risk climbs. It's not the weight alone that injures you - it's the loss of intention under that weight.
But I can also explain that there is a different type of intensity that is productive and safe.
This is an outlet that comes from control - not chaos. Sometimes it could happen after you've maintained tight form under prolonged time under tension/reps.
Make sure your brace stays locked & technique didn't break. And then, on that final inch of the final rep, you choose to unleash everything you have left - without sacrificing structure.
That's how true progress is made.
Hope this helps!
