I'd like to test my 1RM max on SOHP, Bench, Squat & Deadlift. This is for fun & self motivation...I haven't really testing a 1RM since High School 20 years ago.
My current workout plan is Jim Wendler's 5/3/1, 4 days a week. I'm finishing up week 3 now, so next week is a deload week.
I'm planning to try to test my 1RM & set some new PR's the week after deload. Does that seem like the best time to do this?
Also, how do you guys warmup for a 1RM? I've been doing 3 sets, 5 reps @ about 40%, 50%, 60% of my theoretical 1RM for warmups. But that is so light I think I may need another set or 2 a little heavier before trying for a new PR. Would appreciate some feedback here.
And lastly, since I'm already doing a 4-day workout schedule, I was just going to test my 1RM on each exercise on the day I was already planning to work out & then follow with some light assistance. So, I'll test SOHP on Monday, Deads on Wednesday, Bench on Thursday & Squat on Saturday.
Sound like a plan?
Thanks in advance for tips...
