Note: this lab should be performed in the presence of an instructor to ensure proper form and safety. Acsm recommends measuring muscular strength by performing one repetition maximum (1 rm) or multiple rm assessments. This lab estimates 1 rm for the chest press and leg press by finding the amount of weight you can maximally lift 2 to 10 times: warm up. Complete 3 to 10 minutes of light cardiorespiratory activity to warm the muscles.

For the chest press, position yourself so the bar or handles are across the middle of your chest. Spread your hands slightly wider than shoulder width.
