Barbara R Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	French > English
Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	ont fait le plein de super
Context:	Participer à un Mastermind donne un bon shoot d’énergie constructive. On parle rarement de l’énergie qu’on peut récolter dans nos différentes activités. Participer à un groupe Mastermind c’est s’envoyer un shoot d'énergie pour entreprendre, innover, oser, et aller plus loin. À la fin de chaque réunion, les participants ont fait le plein de super, ils sont pleinement eux-mêmes, et même plus qu’eux-mêmes puisqu’ils sont aussi un peu remplis des autres participants, de leurs idées et suggestions, de leurs encouragements, de leurs visions. Ils se sentent capables de devenir la meilleure version d’eux-mêmes et mieux encore par l’exemple des autres participants.

My comment:

Think this is a good colloquial translation, as in making a maximum effort (as expressed in the "full tank of petrol"metaphor of the French.

I don't agree about the tense: it does not mean that they have given their all, but that they are ready to give it.

Yes, you're right, I missed that one in my haste! The sense is of course that they are "fully gassed up" and raring to go.

I gave you my literal translation on the assumption that you hadn't understood the expression (as some here offering versions clearly hadn't!) but I like 'firing on all cylinders', which will read more naturally to an anglophone

(by 'you' I meant Barbara of course - as presented here it reads ambiguously. Apologies, Amanda.)

By the end of meeting the participants are more than over filled with the number of speakers, with suggestions

My comment:

It sounds like an all day seminar and everybody is tired of advice, of speakers, of each other etc.
