Should I be concerned about my max?

[Merciless]

I wouldn't max that often. As a powerlifter, we barely do 1RM. We had strength test all this week, then we have 2 competitions where we do 1RM (obviously). Other than that, we don't have routines where we do 1RM.

 

[Cynic]

A one rep max only really matters in powerlifting. The majority of the human race need to be concerned with output over a sustained period, such as lifting shingles to the roof, hauling floor tiles into the house, shoveling snow, cutting grass, bringing the wife her potting soil, etc.

You mean like the west-side program?

Kinda sorta'. Westside is conjugate. The two setups are fairly similar, and really only if you're wanting to nitpic does it make a difference.
