from Health and Fitness Unfiltered · host Derek Bennett, Julia Zalmanek
To get stronger, there is no doubt that you have to push yourself in the weight room... But there are ways to push yourself to the max more frequently than many believe. Finding your one rep max (1RM) is one of the best ways to assess how strong you are in a particular lift and also find out where you are weak. Should you do a 3RM or 5RM rather than 1RM? Julia and Derek go down a few rabbit holes when it comes to strength training to the max, including the benefits of finding a 1RM, what is Max Effort Training, and how pushing yourself to a Max Effort more frequently can be done.
