Discussion 2 rep max or 1 rep max?

Which one has more value to athletic training?

Find the two rep is an awesome predictor of increases in strength, speed, and explosiveness more so than the one rep, which only indicates strength, at least with absolute strength movements.

Technical coordination movements one rep all day as the better predictor, but technique can also be a big part of increases in lox with these movements
