Question

. A 27-year-old female client, who weighs 130 lb, claims to be able to lift 85 lb for 10 repetitions on the bench but only completes 6 repetitions. Given this information, what is her estimated 1 RM (1 repetition maximum)?

Answer 1

The client only completes 6 out of 10 reps that means the percentage of the max lifted for her is 85%.

Take the weight lifted (85 pounds) and divide it by the percentage of completed lifts which is (85%)

85 / 0.85 = 100

Her estimated 1RM = 100
