1RM

MajinSaiyan

I just started hitting the gym maybe a few months ago? So I have tried a 1RM since I also work out alone. Right now I'm at 4 sets of 125 for 8 reps each set. I have gotten to 135 though, but I can't rep that much.

If you can do 5 reps, that's enough. 5-8 reps is good for most purposes for building strength. If you can't do 5 reps at 135 yet, do 125 until you can do 5 at 135. Then do 135 until you can do 8, move up and so on.
