1 REP MAX
The test is used to measure the maximum strength, which is the mostpower a muscle, or a group of muscles, can execute
against an object.
Warm up.Learn how to lift weights with the correct technique.
Support is needed on both sides of the bar.We can work to the maximum by adding more weights to the bar
if the previous attempt was successful. 2 to 3 minutes should be taken between each attempt.
The test will end when the individual is unable to lift more weight.
The component measured = maximum strength
