The Heavy Single

Represents not a 1 Rep Max test but a ramp up to a high weight (90% or >)for a quality single depending on your abilities for that day.
Use these days to work quality form and intelligent ramp up procedures for 1 Rep Max days
Set your rest and work your set position,reaffirm your confidence with a significant load.

Work up to your heavy single by either working 5 reps to 3 reps to 2 reps to Single
Continue your Single for the required Sets
Do not push to a Fail,keep in the 90% zone of your 1RM this is not the day for a new 1RM

Heavy Singles can be compromised by your previous days training so don't have your expectations set too high

Remember this is training not Test or Comp Day
