Ok, Sir K, I'm looking over the chart and your email and I have a couple of questions.
How do I determine my one rep max?

Grab a dumbell, start pumping, try to do it 8-12 times adn see if you really need to give everything you got to finish the rep.
[/QUOTE]Zuv, your one rep max is the maximum amount of weight you can lift one time. This is the number concentrated on when developing strength. You're in sports. Coaches usually want you to do lots of reps with lighter weights to develop endurance and pain tolerance. In sports like wrestling, gaining weight can work against you if you enter a higher class.
