Default 1RM how long?

I started doing my 1RM's prior to beginning. I am only halfway through disc 2 exercises. I am also doing until I lose form, however many reps that may be. I sometimes don't pick the right weight that I thought I'd only do 10 reps on.
It seems like it will take all week to get through this? Does that sound right?

I focused on doing the 1 RM for exercises that had 3-5 stars (which were the most highly recommended). It took me 2 days to get through just those exercises. When I entered my info the the workout manager; the max # of reps I saw you could select from is 20. My advise is to pick a weight that starts to challenge you somewhere between the 8 to 12th rep.

I've done the first 2 disks so far and just love it. I printed my workout card for each day and made notes as I went.
