This is an article for the nerds regarding strength training.
It has a graph of peak force developed during deadlifting, measured (I think) from a pressure plate underneath the feet of the lifter.

Interesting conclusions... Always lift as fast as possible...
I'm looking to test my 1RMs over the next couple of days. What is the best way to go about it (i.e. in terms of starting point, warm-up reps, rest periods, etc.)?
I've read many times about the benefits of 20 rep squat sets, and I've started adding a set of 20 reppers at around 60% of my 1RM at the end of my squat session. Needless to say they are fucking hard and get a bit messy. Oh well, no pain no gain.
Anyway, is it smart/sensible/advised/beneficial...

Any suggestions on a good (accurate) 1rm formulas? Its nearly two months since I started training and I am going to test my 1rm's every two months. Unfortunately didn't do it at the start so will have to use an estimate.
I am slightly confused about the 1RM max lift and day to day training, and I am looking for some advise.
I have recently added 18kg to my 1RM Squat (127.8kg to 145.8kg) as well as 8.8 kg to my Dead Lift (153.4kg to 162.2kg), I am very happy with these results, but just wondering if I should be...

Just wondering how much difference you have between your 20 rep squat and 1 rep max squat weight?
For me it is about 40kg.
Looking through other people's training journals, my gap makes my 1rm look weak, but on the other hand, what does that say about people with a larger gap?
Could this...
Hey guys, its been 3 months since i've started lifting, i was just after some opinions on my bench press. 3 months ago i could only 1RM 52kg, this morning i performed a 80kg 1RM which is a 28kg gain.
I was just wondering what do you guys rekon? is this good, decent, or slow gain? Thanks...
Ive noticed a lot of people on this site prefer to gauge their progress by how many reps they can do of a certain weight rather than by the maximum weight they can lift once. Personally i love doing 1RM and aiming for new PB's its what i train for, to find out what my absolute maximum strength...
