1RM calc question..

[laurilu]

Hello Ladies!

I am not new to Cathe but have never posted here so hello all I am working on my 1RM testing and I have a question, although it may be a dumb one I'm going to ask anyway....

I tend to overthink things and I'm doing that with some of my calculations. For example, squats narrow stance? Of course you use 2 dumbbells so I used two 25 pound bells, when I enter my weight into the 1RM calc do I enter 25 or 50 pounds?

Just wondering how everyone here did it.

Thanks in advance,
Laurie

Hi Laurie!

For dumbells you enter the weight of one dumbbell, so you would enter 25lbs.

Good luck with STS!

Thanks Nora! That's what I wanted to do but like I said I tend to overthink things.

Have a great day
