1 rep max

[cinnamon6]

Do you guys work out your 1 rep max's often? I wanted to test my own abilities.

 

[SteveMobsterG]

Only in competition. I did a write up on using a one rep max calculator

 

[stevesmi]

if you want to get injured then yeah do it often.

guys who compete go 100% only on meets. they don't push themselves often.

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

I never max out. Never.

 

[muskate]

The lowest amount of reps I do per set is 3. And that's very seldom.

If your goal is to sculpt your physique, it's best to train in a 5+ rep range as that's the best rep range for hypertrophy

 

[RoySimpson]

Yeah the risk of injury is super high when you frequently test your one rep max.
