Strenght Training Lab
The purpose of free weight strength test lab was to measure our one rep max for bench press, standing press, and straight bar curl. Once we got out results we were to compare them college students, men and women of their same age group. The students in Exercise Physiology 2 were supposed to first warm up with a weight for each exercise and do between 2 and 20 reps. The students then had the opportunity to continue to figure out there max weight or could calculate a formula to determine the answer. When comparing my free weight 1RM bench press strength to other males and females with in my age group, I was in the 60%ile. My 1RM bench press was 155 lbs, and my one rep max was 215.3 pounds. My one rep max was calculated by equations in our lab exp
In completing this lab exercise, I have accomplished a couple things. First, after performing all of the weight strength exercises I found that I was average to above average compared to men and women of my age bracket. I have concluded that I was average to men and women in the two-arm curl, and above average in the bench press test. Finally, although I have never lifted weights before, I find myself to be in very good physical shape compared to men and women of the same category and age groups. During the two-arm curl exercise, I lifted 50 lbs 10 times with my one rep max was 87.5 lbs. On Table 8 in the lab manual for 1-RM, my Two-arm Curl Strength to my body/weight ratio was 0.43. Compared to other men in this category, I was on the border- line of being a
