The Ultimate Strength Training Chart: Are You Strong Or Not?
By: Dennis Weis
Using these exercise and poundage charts, you can test your one rep maxes and finally determine if you're strong or not!
So, you think you're strong, eh?
Test your One-Rep Strength in the following 10 exercises and know for sure. Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Dumbbell Press, Curl, Reverse Curl, Tricep Extension, Weighted Chin-Up, Push-Up And Dip! See where you rank among the charts!
Note: To convert the weights to kilograms, take the pounds weight and times it by 0.4536. So if it says 50 pounds, you would take 50 X 0.4536 which equals 22.68 kilograms.
