1 RM Testing and Programming Schedule
If you're unable to make it to our classes to test your 1 Rep Max, we recommend you try to do so on your own. These can be challenging but the idea is to have a guide of nearly how much you can lift so we can use percentages in order to build overall strength.
When you are approaching your 1 RM, we suggest using 3-5 warm-up sets depending on how high of weight you need to climb. We want to keep the reps between 2-5 to conserve energy but prepare the Nervous System for the stimulus. Thing that you'll use ~3 attempts to find your 1 RM. Set 1 should be slightly below their 1 RM (3-8% less than your suspected 1 RM). Set 2 should be at or slightly above your suspected 1 RM. Set 3 should be anywhere you feel like going depending on how sets 1 and 2 went. Ideally, you hit another PR but if you miss attempt 2 you may need to back off a bit or remain the same. There will be variations here as to how many attempts you try but after a certain number of attempts your nervous system may not be able to respond to this near max or max load. Good Luck!
