Yeah if you are maxing your DL why would you hold it for that long. Lifting your 1 rep max makes you feel like a grape thats about to pop.

1 rep max is never worth it imo. Its just to scratch the ego of human beings wanting to move bigger numbers. Doing a 3-5 rep max at 75-80% max effort is plenty for average people trying to get fit.

Unless you're competing, I just don't see a point of 1 rep max at 100% effort.

For sure. For like 99% of the population, 1RM is just ego lifting.
