A 70kg individual is performing a 1 repetition max (1RM) test on a bench press. They successfully press 91kg (~200lbs). What would this individual's relative strength be for this test? A. ~10.5 B. ~6370 C. ~1.3 D. ~0.769 2. We covered many prediction equations for calculating 1RM, however, we also noted that you could estimate a ~2-2.5% reduction in load for each repetition beyond 1RM (100%). (i.e., 2RM = 100-2 = 98% or 2.5 = 97.5% of 1RM) Given this information, imagine you had a client who could lift 150lbs. 3 times to failure. What would you anticipate their 1RM would be? A. ~152-157lbs B. ~170-175lbs C. ~159-162lbs D. ~164-173lbs 3. Using a similar approach, you have a client who you prescribed an exercise intensity of 80% of 1RM. Several weeks ago, when you tested them, their 1RM was 200lbs. They are currently lifting 80% of their last measured 1RM, 160lbs (this should be 8-10 repetitions). The individual performs 12 repetitions consistently across multiple sets. What would you estimate their current 1RM is based on this performance? A. ~253-272lbs B. ~221-243lbs C. ~202-207lbs D. ~210-228lbs 4. Based on the previous question (Question 9), what needs to be done to this individual's exercise prescription? A. The load needs to be increased to continue to 'overload' the individual B. The load needs to be reduced because they are performing too many repetitions C. The exercise prescription does not need to progress over time. This is fine. D. The individual needs to stop lifting when they reach 8-10 repetitions regardless of how they feel 5. What type of strength assessment would a hand-grip dynamometer be? A. Isokinetic B. Dynamic variable resistance C. Isometric D. Dynamic constant resistance

Which of the following aspects of a resistance training program is most important for inducing increases in muscular strength? a. The number of repetitions performed per set b. The incorporation of explosive, plyometric activities c. The number of sets performed d. The intensity (quality) of the exercise e. The speed of motion performed f. The use of free weights, as opposed to machines
