1 Rep Max Test and STS Total Body

[shakeubooty]

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before.

I don't own STS and have never done the 1 rep max testing. Do I need to do this in order to know the proper weights to use for STS Total Body? If so, will you publish a list of those exercises so I can focus on those? I'm trying to decide which of the 4 new workouts I want to pre-order.

1RM testing in STS Total Body

We recommend doing a 1RM test, but it is not something you have to do. STS Total Body will be made along the same lines as the main STS program and will feature the same workout cards in the Workout Manager. Since we mainly use compound exercises in STS Total Body (we have Premix options with and without isolation exercises) there are not a lot of exercises to test for, so testing will be fairly simple and quick - this is especially if you have already done your 1RM tests for the main program. Rep ranges will be between 60 and 80% of 1RM. We will eventually post an exercise list in the WM, but not until after filming.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm happy to hear it's not required but I may end up doing some testing to validate my choice of weights.
