If you build up to a 1RM PR, you haven't gotten a lot of work volume done that day, certainly not the intention of the program. If the rep is a true 1RM, how can you do it for singles across? Get the book.
When doing a Texas M Friday Intensity Workout building up to 1RM,
- Should one simply build up to a 1 RM personal best ?
- Or build up to a 1 RM and do several in a row with breaks ? (In that case how many ?)
And is it appropriate to do a backoff set or two at lower weights ?

I've read the intermediate chapter in PP 10 times, guess I'm just not that bright..
So if I get this right now then:
A Friday TM intensity 1RM-workout should look like this:
Build to 1 RM in increments
Backoff set(s)
The TM Friday workout does not call for a 1RM.
Read the fucking book.
Fuck.
Rip,
You might be the only person I know who is funnier on the internet than in person.
