    the usual 8-12 range

    Define “usual,” because in most strength programs I see, they rarely call for more than 5 reps in a work set (unless doing AMRAP where you need to do at least 3 or 5).

    And I personally do my 1RM testing to competition form, but I get what you’re saying.

      General recommendation that pops up when going online and searching for basic resistance training. Not specific strength training as yeah recommended rep range for that is lower.

      Though my opinion might not be specifically against 1rms, more against ego lifting and 225 bench seems to attract that a lot more than other lifts.

      Cleanly preformed reps, even 1rms, are beautiful to watch.
