Question about 1RM% and training
"As an individual goes from a beginner to an advanced trainer, they tend to use weights closer and closer to their 1RM"
I saw this somewhere, can't remember where, not important, because I'm not stating it as a fact. I'm asking, how true do you think this statement is? For bodybuilding purposes I thought the opposite would be true; start with heavier weights, as a novice like me would in SS, in order to build up their base strength and achieve some size, and then when their lifts are respectable then they go onto a hypertrophy routine and get big. Maybe the opposite is true for the ultimate goal of strength that a powerlifter would go for, they would start as a novice going quite heavy with 5RM like in SS, and when they are stronger, they start working on singles, doubles and triples, but I'm not sure about any of this, so what do you guys think?
