    *for reps.

    Unpopular opinion, but avarage one reppers don’t count, as those are always done with god awful form, using as much momentum as possible and almost no control over the weight.

    1 RMS count only when preformed to competition standards.

    For reps would mean that there is more control in it and the reps are cleaner.

        3 would probably be bare minimum to qualify for reps, but the usual 8-12 range might be more appropriate aka working weight. It ensures there are at least some good reps in there. Obviously anything above that is more impressive.

          the usual 8-12 range

          Define “usual,” because in most strength programs I see, they rarely call for more than 5 reps in a work set (unless doing AMRAP where you need to do at least 3 or 5).

          And I personally do my 1RM testing to competition form, but I get what you’re saying.
