Max Testing Week: Chin Up + Leg Press

5.0|30 min|4 comments
Today you will get a base marker for you 1 REP MAX for leg press & total amount of chin ups you can do. 👉🏽Testing Protocol below if you don’t want to do the 1RM but rather 2-5 reps to get your estimated 1RM number 👉🏽Calculating Your 1RM Using the Brzycki Formula: 1RM = Weight × (36 / (37 - Reps)) Example: If you lifted 200 lbs for 5 reps 1RM = 200 × (36 / (37 - 5)) 1RM = 225 lbs You will use this number in the coming weeks to determine weights There will be adequate warmups and rest to ensure you safely can test yurself. At the end of the 12-week training phase, we will test again so you can see your amazing progress

Did 4x 105kg but then couldn’t go past that way so ended my last one with 15x 95kg =155 kg 1RM which I don’t really believe haha… perhaps I did too many warmup rounds (wasn’t sure of my weight so kept doing more easier weights). Did 2 chinups- super proud! Only recently could do 1!

I enjoyed it and really blew my mind that I was able to lift more and do chin ups without assistance.
