would you do 1-2 rep max outs to strength train?

[Lbaise]

I’m 35 years old and I’m looking to get stronger over the next year. I’m interested in doing some strength training. One of the things I’m want to aim for is doing 1 or 2 rep max outs. Is this a good strategy for gaining strength? Or should I stick to higher repetitions?

1-2 reps wont cut it. That's more a test of strength. Nor higher reps
