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 completed 6 repetitions. Using the correct response for your client's 1 repetition max for bench press, what would her perceived rating be with regards to bench press strength?

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
