If you are going to test your strength with a 1RM you would want to know what you're doing.
I personally don't see the need if one is progressing on their normal template
I agree with you. A bodybuilder will never need to max out, simple as that.
Your not needing to get 1rm numbers to build %'s for a new training plan, training 1rm will not build more muscle than what they arnt getting anyway out of normal bodybuilding training and what bodybuilding program would call to train towards 1rm's? None.
I see alot of people quoting scientific evidence to back up their claims or they are asking other members for scientific evidence to back up their claims so where is the scientific evidence to back some of there ideas and claims up?
How about you show us scientific evidence that getting strong doesn't build muscle.

Getting strong on 1rm's?
Sure.
Not as safe.
I think I have been injured more on higher rep sets. Fatigue at the end of the sets causing problems.

+ 1 to this all injuries i have had lifting are from trying to grind out that last rep. Your concious of setup when going for pb
Maybe you both need to look at form and set up when it comes to higher rep training, when fatigue sets in then form starts to drop which means you will get injured. Higher rep training and building endurance is still very important when it comes to powerlifting, so maybe you should include more high rep training into your training plans then this would mean better endurance to complete more sets/reps safetly and more effectively also include better muscle hypertrophy which will also help in building strength.
We are talking about the benefits of powerlifting aspects, or ideas into bodybuilding training but maybe we should be talking about different aspects you guys could take out of bodybuilding training to get better results with your powerlifting.

Maybe it's because we don't lift baby weights.
I never said lift baby weights I said maybe you should include more higher rep training. Higher rep training does not = lifting baby weights.
As I have said in a number of posts I do not believe in lifting light, I think progressing through lifting more weight is the way to go, but that could include reps from 5-12, just because your going to the higher point of reps does not mean your lifting light weights, of course next to lifting a 1rm then the weight is going to be lighter.
Whoever said lift baby weights? As I said higher rep training and building endurance is very important when it comes to powerlifting, so maybe you should include more high rep training into your training plans then this would mean better endurance to complete more sets/reps (this could include anything from 10 x 1 to 1 x 10) safetly and more effectively also include better muscle hypertrophy which will also help in building strength.
Lol. The baby weights thing was ment to be a joke but my phone died before I could edit it.
What makes you think powerlifters don't do higher rep sets. Most Powerlifting programs have high rep work included for assistance work. I love low rep stuff but include plenty of high rep work as well. I don't see the point in limiting myself to one method.
Thats good mate, I never said powerlifters didnt I just suggested that if you have problems with injuries or have been injured with high rep stuff then maybe you need to look at form.
Honestly my injuries from weightlifting all together have been minimal, high or low rep. I just don't buy the argument that low rep lifting is so much more risky than high rep. I play footy and the risk of injury is bloody 100x what it is in weightlifting.
