Answer:

1 repetition maximum = 400 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

weighs = 180 lb

lift = 320 lb

repetitions = 8

to find out

what is his estimated 1 repetition maximum

solution

we get here 1 repetition maximum that is express as

1 repetition maximum = w × (
1+ (r)/(30) ) .................1

here w is weight lift and r is complete repetition

put here value we get

1 repetition maximum = 320 × (
1+ (8)/(30) )

1 repetition maximum = 320 × 1.25

1 repetition maximum = 400 lb
