5am, and we're testing our 1RM power sn**ch to kick off the new cycle. đź’Ş
Here's how we built up to a heavy single: start at three reps around 75%, then drop the reps and add weight as you go. By your second-last lift it should feel genuinely heavy, the kind where you look at the bar and think "can I even pick this up?" Then the last one, you go for broke.
When you're into your singles, the rule of thumb: pick one you're pretty sure you'll hit, a second that's a push, and a third that's a real challenge.
And whatever your level, there's always an option. Not sn**ching today? Clean. Not cleaning? Deadlift. Nobody sits out. đź’™
