Instructions for Max Test Days:
You will go through your typical warm up for each main lift and then test your
strength on a one rep max. Use the conservative, moderate, or aggressive option
depending upon how good you feel during warm ups. Keep in mind these options
are just guidelines and you can use more than one attempt to find your real max. As
always do not use a weight you can't handle and make sure you exercise caution
and use a qualified and capable spotter at all times.
