Well Ross you have to define more what you mean by all that. Do you mean that you will simply keep ramping the weights with a certain volume until you can no longer do so?

Not sure what you mean there. I know it makes sense I'm just not getting exactly what you are saying

Absolutely if you're doing the kind of training where you would actually have a notion of that. Really impressed you picked up on that. But for general purposes, and the way most train they would only have a general idea. And let me say that you can't be doing a max single everyday of course! But technically, your true "intensity" is changing based on your preparedness on any given day. Ask Anuj how I feel about percentage based protocols
. This is the very reason. There is def no need to be so exact but when your do a "max" it is really a "relative max".
I actually read an article about "CNS fatigue" recently and the writer said something about how you would test your "true" 1RM too often. I have to wonder what he thinks a true 1RM is. What is true today may be false tommorow
Most people who want to do strength trainig can test much more often than they do. They just need to understand the difference between a PR and a max. And keep in mind the notion of QUALITY.
