Ive noticed a lot of people on this site prefer to gauge their progress by how many reps they can do of a certain weight rather than by the maximum weight they can lift once. Personally i love doing 1RM and aiming for new PB's its what i train for, to find out what my absolute maximum strength is. i do like knowing how many reps i can do of my bodyweight of an exercise and i do use this to gauge progress but reps of any other weight is pretty much meaningless to me, they just go towards making that attempt at a new 1RM PB successful. So what do you prefer and why?
