What does 1.5 mean on 1RM chart?

[noraG]

For example, there is "seated concentration curls 1.5" and "seated front press Double Arms 1.5". I'm making some headway in my 1RM calculations, but have skipped these exercises, because I'm not sure what it means. Anyone?

Bumping . . . . I'm not sure about this either! I thought someone explained it before, but I can't find anything about it.

I believe it is a full rep followed by a partial rep. For example, a full bicep curl followed by a bicep curl that goes only 1/2 way up. The 2 movements combined equals one rep.

Thanks, dreamyjeanie! That's what it sounded like, but I wasn't sure . . . .

Thanks. That makes sense.

BINGO! - this is what was explained w-a-y back by Cathe or SNM - I wrote it down....There was a recent thread that said it was a full rep + 1/2 + down & all the way up...Thats not it.... EXACTLY what Jeanie said.
