I've never heard of EPOC as a method of training but more of a physiological effect that occurs in regards to training. Snowy, I'm not a big fan of 1RM due to musle-skeleton complications that occur from doing heavy lifting.
Another question snowy is do you not like free weights because you are not familiar with the proper techniques? That can be a big turn off. But seeing how you are looking for over all muscle mass. I only see free weights allowing you to do compound movements, rather than single jointed exercises.
