What’s the point of a One Rep Max? Both doing them and finding it out? I’m not interested in hitting a certain number just looking good and getting an aesthetic physique and being healthy. Do I not need to worry about one rep maxes at all?Is it like a powerlifter thing or something?
>>76738528I use e1RM to gauge strength. A set I did indicates a higher e1RM than any other set I did before = PR, I'm stronger.I seldom directly test them though.
There isn't a purpose. It's just cool. Yes you can measure strength by a bench press 5x5 90kg. That's pretty much a 1 rep 100kg bp.But a 100kg bp sounds a lot cooler since you know three numbers.
So you can know how much weight to put on to do x% RM set.
