I absolutely love pushing a 1rm, but there's a difference between doing heavy PR singles and true 1rm attempts, and the injury risk in a true 1rm attempt is higher than a true 3rm or 5rm test, which are also good tests of strength.
However, if it's important to you, either for personal enjoyment, or because you are competing in a strength sport, all power to you (and me, I will probably do a peaking program and do some kind of mock meet around March).

Hard disagree. Lol. I honestly can’t imagine doing weight training without attempting 1RMs - maxing out is literally the best bit, lol.
