How much time should I set aside...

... to do all the 1 rep max exercises for STS? I printed out the 1 rep max guide they have in the STS forum and am a bit overwhelmed by the 8 pages of exercises, wow! I'm thinking I could probably skip my weight workouts this week by doing these exercises .

I know I should use the star guide to prioritize the exercises, but I'm anal and I'd still like to do every single one so I have my 1 rep max available for all of these. How long did it take everyone to complete it?

I'm so impatient, I want to start STS this week, but I also want to do it right, so I'll wait until I get all of my 1 rep max info before I dive into it .

A lot- probably a week, I think. I only did my uppers, and did them all in a 3 hour session, and I think my numbers were way off as a result. I have had to adjust every single weight target throughout STS.

Yikes, 3 hours just for the upper body exercises? Ok, I might have to devote a few days for this then .

So you didn't do any lower body 1RM test that had 1-3 stars? I am asking b/c I didn't and I am scheduled to do lower body disc 3 Friday for the 1st meso...
