While the allure of 1RM testing is undeniable, it's essential to recognize the inherent risks. These include acute injuries such as muscle strains or ligament tears resulting from lifting excessive weights, improper form or inadequate warm-up. Moreover, chronic issues such as joint wear and tear or muscular imbalances may also develop from consistent maximum effort lifts. Therefore, executing 1RM tests judiciously, with appropriate safeguards, is of paramount importance.
