3 Attempts at a one rep max for

Back Squat

Strict Press

Deadlift

Get the record books out! It’s not often we program 1 RM work so make it for this one!

First attempt you should go for something you know you can hit, second attempt should be your current known 1RM, and then on the final attempt, go for something just outside of that. Another good tip is to minimize your build up. Don’t spend 10 minutes building up 10lbs at a time. Build quickly to your first working weight in no more then 3 sets, otherwise fatigue will set in and you won’t hit your true 1RM!
