1-RM

68
Q

1-RM

A

the max weight that can be lifted for 1 complete repetition of the movement through the full ROM

truly ONLY measures maximum strength at the WEAKEST point in the ROM (sticking point)

70
Q

what coincides with the “sticking point”

A

the weakest point in the ROM

71
Q

weakest points in the ROM are the product of what

A

72
Q

when performing dynamic strength assessments, what equipment can be used

A

74
Q

DCER testing equipment- dynamic constant resistance exercise machines

A

-no spotter(s) needed
-limit joint ROM and plane of movement

A

to help protect the lifter from injury

1 or more

77
Q

the spotter should be how strong

at least as strong + at least as tall as the client performing the exericse

78
Q

what should be done for overhead exercises + exercises where the bar is placed on the back or in front of the shoulders

A

should ideally be performed inside a power rack

79
Q

when spotting over-the-face exercises what grip should be used to lift/lower the bar

alternated or narrower than the client’s

80
Q

establish base of support + flat-back position

81
Q

how to spot dumbell exercises

A

at the wrists

82
Q

where do spotters help the client move the weight to

A

proper starting position
-make sure type of liftoff is agreed upon before starting the lift

83
Q

when spotting, don’t assist until when

A

until the concentric velocity is 0 + starting to move eccentrically
-or the lifter asks for help

84
Q

general procedures for 1-RM assessment

A

-ensure that the client understands the lift and assessment that is being performed; explain all procedures and allow for any questions they may have

-ask the client for an estimation of what they think there 1-RM will be for the current lift; if they aren’t sure, ask them what they normally lift on that exercise + how many repetitions; if they don’t perform the exercise regularly have them perform a repetition-maximum on a light weight (estimate 1-RM from the RM value) + perform a 1-RM at a later date

-have the client perform a light general warm-up (i.e., 30-40% of their HRR) for roughly 3-5 minutes

-have the client perform the movement pattern unloaded

-have the client perform warm-up set with a load that would allow them to perform 5-10 “easy” repetitions (e.g. 30-50% of their estimated 1-RM)

-client rests for 2 minutes

-have the client perform a 2nd warm-up set with a load that would allow them to perform roughly 3-5 repetitions (e.g., 60-80% of their estimated 1-RM)

-client rests for 2-4 minutes

-have the client perform a near-maximal (e.g. 90% of 1RM) set for 2-3 repetitions

-client rests for 2-4 minutes

-have the client attempt 1-RM by raising the weight up to estimated 1-RM; if client is successful add 2-5% of additional weight to the lift; if client wasn’t successful client rests for 2-4 minutes

-keep making attempts until client reaches 1-RM (goal is for client to reach max within 3-5 attempts)

85
Q

what do you do if client isn’t sure of what their 1-RM might be

A

ask them what they normally lift on that exercise and how many repetitions

-if they don’t perform the exercise regularly have them perform a repetition-maximum on a light weight (estimate 1-RM from the RM value) + perform a 1-RM at a later date

86
Q
