10 rep

Working up to a 10 rep max is a very different experience than a 1, 3 or even 5 rep max.  The weight might even feel light at first, but if you don’t respect it with proper patterning and bracing it will feel much different before you get to rep 10.  Warm yourself up right – a few sets of 10, a few in the 7-8 range and a few more in the 4-6 range as you climb up.  Consider going a little heavier for a low rep warm up set than you plan to do for your first attempt at a 10 rep max.  This will help prime your body and mind to approach the bar properly when you do go for your first attempt.  If it the first attempt goes well and feels good, load up once more and see what you can do.
