I have noticed higher frequency, shorter rest periods, and other such things often improve efficiency in an exercise or general GPP but dont have as much carryover to raw strength as just heavyass, no holding back, struggling for that rep as though you're about to pass out attempt.....granted we all have limits and perhaps it's smart to leave a smidge in the tank to avoid injuries...

Oh yeah, I rest like a motherfucker dude. Before my 700lb pull I smoked a cigarette and let about 3 songs play when I was done. Before my second 700lb squat (at 275 mind you, not my current weight) I probably sat around and ate MM's while bullshitting with my training partners for a half hour.
