Intermediate
One rep max testing:
Deadlift 1RM
Jerk 1RM
Clean 1RM
*The purpose of the jerk is to test how much weight you can get over your head. You may choose to complete the push press, push jerk, or split jerk. We will cover these in class and you can do whichever you are most comfortable with.
Beginner
Three rep max testing:
Deadlift 3RM
Jerk 3RM
High pull 3RM
*Testing the three rep max is safer than the one rep because it will be easier to preserve form and technique due to less weight used. We will use a calculation to estimate your one rep max based on your three rep max.
**The purpose of the jerk is to test how much weight you can get over your head. You may choose to complete the press, push press, or push jerk. We will not use the split jerk since we do not typically learn it in the beginner class. We will cover these in class and you can do whichever you are most comfortable with.
