How often do you practice or train your 1 rep maximums (squat, deadlift, bench)?
Maybe because I'm getting older or because a past couple injuries killed my progress- I seem to never get around to training or testing my 1 rep maxes. What's your routine, method, or frequency for this? How common is it for someone to really hurt themselves doing it? Thank you,
