One rep max for bodybuilding

The funny thing is in bodybuilding, currently the ethos is high repetitions until failure, to encourage muscle hypertrophy. However, it is boring and hateful.

Instead, lately I’ve just been doing more very very heavy one rep max attempts for squat and rack pulls, and my back and my biceps are getting insane. Also my traps are out of control.
