Durden, what's your take on frequency of testing max strength? How often do you recommend/do it?Originally Posted by nealraj006

If it works for you, good, but just keep in mind that a progressive, repetitive routine will not make someone plateau.
It's much easier to make progress when theres consistency and a means for evaluating progression.
It can be pretty dangerous, so I think it should be done every once and awhile. (Novices should also stay away from it)
I personally dont max out (no need to/dont see a reason to) and the conversion charts are valid enough for me.
I can see doing an 8 week, 12 week, etc. program and maxing out once before the program and once after.
