      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.
