That's correct. If I go AHAP, I usually load the most weight that I know I can do with 100% flawless technique and perhaps adjust the load with small "change" plates as I go. Whereas if I work up to a 5-rep max, I'm loading in larger increments and go balls to the wall. Max reps require a lot of mental/physical preparation and can drain the central nervous system. I haven't been at that level of preparation in a while.
