How often do you do 1RM ??

[kronik420]

Going from my experience over the last few weeks it probably should be less than every week...

I'm sure your joints don't appreciate you doing it every week.

Why don't you do more reps at like 60-85% of your 1RM?

I can max more often on cycle. Its the only time I do usually. Heavy singles are a useful tool but listen to your body if its too much back off and do speed reps with half your max and bandwork or chains

Never max on anything. I got all my injuries doing weights I could rep 4/5 times. Can’t even imagine doing 1 rep maxes these days. That’s for kids with fresh joints and tendons who don’t know any better.

I never do 1 rep max, it has the biggest risk of injury. I do often train with 3 rep max. If you do a weight for 3 reps its not hard to calculate your 1 rep max also so no point in doing it imo

Sadly, because I am mentally weak, the number of times I get close to my 1RM is directly proportion to the number of hot women within view on any given workout.

Coincidentally, the number of times I get hurt doing something foolish is ALSO proportion to the number of hot women within view on any given workout.

Started doing 3 week cycles 80/85/90%. Then just go up 5 lbs the next 3 weeks.

Looking for a powerlifting coach when I get back from holidays.

So powerlifters only do 1rm at meets?

Some do some don’t. You have to pick three different weights on the lifts so you need to know about what ur max is most do 95% max in gym last week out
