Finding your one rep max is a good gage of strength. Here's how to calculate your one rep max, how to use it, how to improve it, and what a good one rep max is.
This chart compares the different formulas. The formulas greatly diverge after about 10 reps. The 1RM can also be estimated indirectly using repetition testing on submaximal loads, as popularized by the use of 1RM calculators. Although in many cases the estimate is reasonable, in other cases the estimate may vary by 10% or more from the actual ...
The first position when performing the hang clean is to assume the hang, or hinge, position. Rather than placing the barbell on the ground, the weightlifter starts with feet hip-width apart, bent at the hips with the barbell hanging just above the knees held in an overhand grip, close to the legs with the chest over the bar.

For 1RM trials, an exercise rehearsal has significant benefits. For submaximal strength training (3 sets of 80% of 1RM to failure), exercise rehearsal does not provide any benefits regarding fatigue or total repetitions for exercises such as bench press, squats, and arm curl, compared to no warm-up.

Finishing position of a clean, and starting position of a jerk. The first part of clean and jerk is the clean, which moves the barbell from the ground to shoulder height.
