What are Heavy Singles and why do we do it?
Heavy Singles are an opportunity for you to lift heavy and lift strong. The whole idea behind it is to focus on form and technique instead of the weight that you’re lifting. I can’t stress this enough, here is a time and place for everything and during heavy singles, your focus is technique. Because you will be lifting a weight that is a percentage of your 1RM, you should approach the bar with confidence. Commit before you lift the bar. Once you grab the barbell and start the movement, there should be no more hesitation.
This is a good guideline as to how to warmup and setup for heavy singles:
- 1 set of 5 at 50% of what I expect to lift.
- 1 set of 5 at 75%
- 1 set of 3 at 85%
- 1 single lift at 90%
- 1 single lift at 95%
