You are understanding me correctly Blackdragon and Crip's post explains the concept exactly. Also, as he mentioned there are always exceptions, but this is a basic concept that is beneficial to understand.
I think msgec has the right idea as well. If increasing max strength is your goal, then a near max sets should be done first. It goes back to being at your highest potential (ie. not fatigued). Sounds like hell of a routine msgec! It is amazing how much genetics come into play as well though. Many top end athletes fell out of bed more athletic than the majority and really dont have to work as hard as the rest to make it to the top. Its just not fair, is it?
