    Fitness Hacks To Transform Your Body

    so, unless you’re a powerlifter. Now, doing multiple heavy sets of
    single reps, like the 10 x 1 workouts is a different story. Go for it.

    The 10 x 1 workout is a pretty cool way to strength train if you
    want more strength. You'll be hitting 10 sets of 1 rep with the
    same weight so you aren't using close to a one rep maximum.
    Over time, you add a little bit of weight and reduce the number of
    sets. If you really want to test a one rep max you can eventually
    go all the way down to one set of one rep. But you don't have to.
    Go as low as your comfortable with, which may be 5 sets of 1
    rep, or 3 sets of 1 rep (which will give you a pretty good idea of
    what your one rep max would be anyway).

    But here’s what I REALLY hate about 1 RM training! It’s not doing
    a 1 rep max! It’s designing a program with workouts, sets and
    reps based on 1 RM numbers and calling it high or low intensity
    because of that! You’ve seen these workouts. They give you
    different training days (heavy, light, etc.) and give you workouts
    like:

        Bench Press 4 x 8 with 80% of your 1 RM
