The one repetition maximum test is a common method of measuring isotonic muscle strength. It is a rough measurement of the heaviest weight a participant can perform a clean lift. It is recommended that you should only warm up before as you will not want to risk injury but by doing too much your muscles would have already begun to fatigue. Then after a rest of at least several minutes, increase the weight and try again.
The athletes chooses subsequent weights until they can only repeat one full and correct lift of that weight. The maximum weight lifted is recorded. The sequence of lifts should also be recorded as these can be used in subsequent tests to help in determining the lifts to attempt. To standardize the score it may be useful to calculate
