How often do you do 1-2 rep lifts?

[srihad]

I was having this debate with a friend of mine who says that you should lift to the max always when you are at the gym
I told him I'd come on the Forum and ask you guys what your thoughts are and what are the pros and cons to doing a work out that way

when i was younger way too often, which is why i tore my shoulder and got 3 herniated discs lol

i would stick to atleast 4-5 reps even on your strength sets

Rarely. There's little to no need.
