Who want's to roast another sacred cow? Let's talk about your 1 rep max. The truth is, for most part your one rep max doesn't matter. Testing your 1RM is a pretty standard part of conventional strength training. It makes sense if you're a competitive lifter but it's really not that important if you're just trying to be healthy or get into better shape. It's so dependent on so many variables that it just doesn't translate well to real life. One rep max testing is very specific to the gym environment. There are a number of problems with it as a benchmark for fitness. I'll cover the three major issues as well as the good points of the one rep max, because hey! There's always some positive!

I'm finally doing it! I've wanted to for a long time. I'm doing the Wim Hof 10 week course! I want to share the experience though. So here's day 1 of the Wim Hof 10-week course! I have tons of experience in cold water so I'm really excited to see how cold water after the breathing exercises compares to what I'm used to. My normal experience with cold water is you just have to suck it up and eventually your body mostly adjusts. To make this course extra exciting, I've just moved to Colorado so I'm kicking this off in the wintertime in the mountains. I'm expecting the first cold shower to be shockingly cold! If you're interested in the Wim Hof method or his online courses this is only the first video over the length of this 10-week course. I'll share the whole experience as I go along. I'm sure there will be some laughs, but I hope it helps you decide if the Wim Hof 10 week course is right for you or not!
