For more description on why it is important to establish these numbers, click on the above picture.
REMEMBER: You get Three and ONLY Three attempts on each lift, so warm up properly, use warm up sets correctly, and be smart in weight jumps on your attempts. A good rule of thumb for this one is, on your attempts, attempt 1 should be something you KNOW you can get (below 1RM), attempt 2 should be something you SHOULD get (current 1RM or just below), and attempt 3 should be something you WANT to get (new 1RM). But go by feel. If the first lift was close enough to your 1RM and it felt like there was no weight on the bar, you COULD go over your current 1RM on attempt 2. just know your body and don;t sacrifice form for higher weight.
