5/3/1 for Beginners TM Test Week

To be performed every 10th week or after three 3 week cycles when following 5/3/1 for Beginners.

On your last set, if you get 3 or more reps, your TM is appropriate, and you can continue as normal using the same TM as the test week for the next cycle. Never add extra weight to your TM based on this set.

If you get fewer than 3 reps, use that number to estimate your 1 Rep Max, and reset your TM based on that for your next cycle.
