We've been doing 1 rep maxes all week in preparation for a new strength cycle.

 

[jmez]

Do you actually do a 1 rep max on the lifts?

I don't do them. I'll work up until I get a heavy set that feels good. Then base my workouts off of how that felt. If they are too easy I just adjust up. One of the beefs I have with Crossfit is the whole 1 rep max thing. IMO there is no reason for that unless you are in a powerlifting competition.

This might not be the right place to ask but. Is everyone doing just crossfit or are you running or hiking also? My schedule is crossfit in the morning and hiking sandy flatland 2 to 3 times a week in evenings.

Yeah, we officially do them about once a year. Typically, our "training maxes" operate off 90% of your most accurate 1 RM. Almost all of our strength programming is % based so the coaches want us to have a recent frame of reference. I don't really have a strong opinion on it one way or the other, but 3 rep maxes are likely the most reliable in terms of real data.

Its is an interesting head game working up to a 1RM. I attempted a DL this week and couldn't even get the bar off the floor. I dropped 15 pounds and worked my way back up to the same weight 5 pounds at a time with 6 minutes rest between each rep, then I pulled the weight I couldn't get budge earlier and even went past it on the next effort.

If anybody is looking for a leg killer this is one for you
Load a barbell with 135# and set a clock for 20 minutes no do as many lunges as you can in those 20 minutes.
I got 145 yesterday and can almost walk today

Right now I'm only doing Crossfit. Prior years I did a lot of hiking with a pack an biking along with lifting.

I wanted to see what kind of condition I was in with only the Crossfit compared to previous years so that's what I did last year. Worked out fine for me. I didn't feel unprepared for my hunt or have any conditioning issues.

We're planning on doing The Murph on Monday. Never done it before and first glance is kind of intimidating. Just another mental challenge at this point. Small sacrifice to honor those who gave much more.
