Default Any suggestions on how many 1RM to do at a time?

I feel if I do too many 1RM at one time I'm not getting an acurate reading due to fatigue but I'd like to get them done so I can print out all the workout cards before I start program.

I think I did like 6 a day. I tried to chip away at it by making it my workout. Like one day I would do a couple bicep exercise and some triceps. Antoher day I would pair chest and back. Don't get discouraged!! It looks like a ton of exercises, but a lot of them repeat themselves.
Also, you can always adjust your weight selection as you start mesocycle one. Some of mine were way off so I adjusted them as I went. For this reason alone I would not print out every workout card just yet. You might need to adjust as you go, so it will adjust future printouts. I just print mine one at a time, a couple days before the workout.
good luck!

This is how I planned on doing them as well. I'm doing a Gym Styles rotation this month and planned on starting STS in February. I figured I'd skip the GS workouts one week and do the 1RM's instead. Since GS is Chest and Tris then Back Shoulders and Bis I was just gonna divide the 1RM's up that way, all of the chest and triceps exercises one day, then the ones for back shoulders and biceps on a different day.
