1 Rep max

[JT Iron]

squat or deadlift or gm variation taken to 1rm once a week

sometimes bench or bench variation

Clean and jerk ... only 1 reps for all my sets even warmup.... is that considered a 1RM?

same here.

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

same here, I'm a bodybuilder anyway, and the single maxes are just too risky for me

agree- too risky. Im not training like a PLr... about every 6 wks works for me

 

[bignate73]

singles are risky, if you are shaky with your form, or have weak stabilizers. if you train both extensively, should be no problem.

[biogeared]

probly 3-4 times a year. my goals are mostly bbing related. some strength is nice though.

 

[harman_2005]

I do singles pretty often, but they're not maxes. I test maxes at the end of every 3-4 months, and then use those numbers to determine appropriate loading for the next workout plan.

We don't need no stinking 1 rep max. Funny, but I never do.

More like it's a pain in the ass gathering all the 45's you would need to max out on deadlifts.
