Cathe or SNM...Question about 1 Rep test and each Mesocycle

Cathlete
Wouldn't you have to take a 1 Rep test before starting each cycle? Wouldn't your endurance or strength gains change after completing each cycle therefore the results of the 1 Rep test taking before Meso 1 would be different after completing Meso 1? And so on?
 
No, that really isn't necessary to do. Once or twice a year is fine for taking a 1RM test. Once you know the starting value, you can just make adjustments to your weights as time goes on.
