I prefer the Jerry Kill idea of football strong(coach speak). Football players looking like bodybuilders is likely meaningless.

Do you think Power Cleans preclude you from being football strong?

I do get what's he's saying though. The max reps are nice psychologically and can help push progress but a 1RM is useless for sports besides power lifting.

That is objectively false.

It's just a strength measure dude. How hard is this to get?

Football players all over the country are doing a 1RM. Of course you don't program exclusivley 1RM if you want to get strong.

Like I said it's a nice psychological motivator but it is functionally useless. Especially for sports. Sure you can base your standard rep weight off of it but you can also just base your rep weight off of... reps.

Volume is way more indicative of strength and fitness

max reps are a waste of time, an absolute waste of time. so is a 1rm but the 1RM is more useful psychologically because you can brag about that. Max reps is also more likely to be damaging to an athletes.

I have no interest in damaging athletes. Do you?
