The majority thinks you need to roid achieve 1 plate OHP. This board is more of a LULZ-lite now, lifting and fitness is secondary to b***hing about women and balding.
Your response is poorly written and I don't know what you're trying to say. Like I said I've rarely if ever checked my 1rm and I'm very happy with how I look. I'm tall with mediocre joints and it's just not worth it. If I was a powerlifter or something then maybe, but I lift for aesthetics.
>Your response is poorly written and I don't know what you're trying to say.
That tends to happen whenever a moron makes an attempt at written communication.
Strength training is important for athletes, but getting stronger can be a challenge. For my strength program, I go by the “1% rule.” I have used it for five years, and it has a 100% success rate for increasing strength in the weight room. Performing a 1 rep max (1RM) lift has its benefits, but it places undue stress on the joints if done too often. You should only lift your 1RM twice a year, and use the 1% rule to increase your strength.
As you lift you will get stronger, but to avoid maxing out, use the 1% rule—i.e., increase your 1RM by 1% for each rep you complete over the prescribed rep range for your current lift. For example: if you performed your last set at 95% of your 1RM, science tells us you will only be able to complete two reps. Each rep completed beyond two reps at 95% allows for a 1% increase in your 1RM. If your 1RM is 245 pounds and you do three reps at 95% when you’re supposed to do only two, your new 1RM would be 245 + 1%, or 247.45 pounds.
Follow these guidelines and make the 1% rule work for you:
I test my 1RM at almost every gym session when regularly lifting.Never got injured because of it. Only time I got injured was because I didn't brace properly or went heavy on second week back of extended break. I warm up to max for every compound, then do my working sets.
If you haven’t fricked yourself up yet, relax. You’ve got nothing to worry about. It’s when you do it so often to the point your body breaks down is what is being cautioned against. So just ease up on how often you do 1RM and you’ll be fine.
Good advice, thanks
I've been lifting well over a decade and I don't think I've ever attempted a 1rm. There's no purpose unless you compete.
And me thinking people on this board were big
Oh they’re big alright. Just like you.

1rm is purely for ego and doesn't effect your gains or results at all.
it doesn't matter if it actually affects your gains
it only matters if people think it affects their gains =/= ego lifting.

What a load of horseshit
I like to test my 1rm every few months on OHP and bench. If your body can't handle this then kek
Yours surely won’t

You should never do a 1RM
frick
i've been doing 1rm to get out of plateaus every week
how fricked am i OP?

1rm is ego lifting. useless and risky. especially avoid if you are casual lifter who aims for ottermode sized physique.
This.
I do 1rms on deadlift adding 5 kg every week. Don't see any other better way to progress on it, it just works
>I do 1rms on deadlift adding 5 kg every week.
