Hi
In the first sets when i’m using lighter weight do i still have to do 1 rep?whay not doing more ?don’t i need each set to go to my max ?isn’t that the point of RM?
I think you are getting this a little confused. The goal is to work to your heaviest lift in series of 1. You use a lighter weight to warm-up and work on form for the heavier numbers. During the warm-up, do 3-5 sets at a lighter weight to get your mechanics down working up in weight to maybe your last 5 rep max wt. Then begin your series of 7x1. Where to start the weight for the 7x1s, how about where your last 3 or 5 rep max wt was. I warm-up up to my last 5 rep max wt then I set my starting weight to my last 3 rep max for the series of 7x1.
If you are new to these movements or haven’t done them in a long time, then yes use light weight, keep it light to work on form. Do 3-5 sets to warm-up, then set a weight where you know you can do 5-7 reps then start there with 7x1s. Slowly increasing wt or keeping it the same. Biggest thing is form, form, form. Don’t compromise form for a number. The number will come once technique is solid. Yes there may be a little form breaking, but nothing gross. If it becomes gross, you need to stop, and drop the weight.
Thanks Halo
but is stilll don’t get it.according to what i saw people wrote for example 95, 115, 125, 135, 145,150 , 150 .Shouldn’t they needed to start with 150? i assume that 95 is about RM5.So actually they did only 2 real RM??
sorry if the question soud stupid i’m new to crossfit

Notice the workout is not 7 x 1 Rep Max Push Press. It is 7 x 1 Push Press. The way most people interpret it is to work up to a max attempt.
I felt strong today…for the past couple weeks, actually. I haven’t been on the strict 3 on/1 off schedule, more often 2 on/1 or 2 off due to work. It’s been great, and I’m feeling really good. Maybe I’m on to something…
Get some!
Welcome Back!!!! Nice Work on the Push Press…. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
