I have STS on my radar for the New Year, and thought I'd do ICE for a few weeks, and then do my 1RM for STS in December. As I was reading through the ICE materials, I just happened to notice the 1RM stuff. I guess I'll try it. With any luck, it will reduce some of the testing I have to do for STS - at least for a few exercises...I stand corrected! So, I didn't use the 1RM for the muscle meltdowns .... you have my curiosity piqued though ... I may have to check my weights I've done with those against my 1RM!
