Calculate Your One Rep Max!
Before beginning any strength-training program, it is advisable that a lifter determine their one-repetition-maximum (1RM) to gauge their current strength level. Essentially the result of one-repetition-maximum testing will give a precise indication of how much weight one is capable of lifting for one repetition across a range of exercises, sport specific or otherwise.

Upon learning of their one-lift capacities, one can design their program around these maximal weights. For example, it might be suitable for power-training that 85% of a one repetition maximum is used as a training weight for the bench press, squat, and deadlift. For toning, or developing a defined body for the beach, 70%, or lower, might be more appropriate.
It Is Advisable That A Lifter Determine Their 1RM To Gauge Their Current Strength Level.
In addition to consistency and effort, precision is one of the keys to a successful training experience. 1RM will help to ensure that the amount of weight lifted is more precisely in line with ones program objectives.

This comes in very handy. It breaks down how much your actually putting into a rep and how much should be doing. This is great.

A great site. I am proud to join in here.
Unfortunately, my English is not good.
Some terms (such as: RM1 or rep) will not understand.
If the description given is very high.
