What you leave with

  1. 01

    A true one-rep max

    Tested on the day, on all three lifts. Not estimated from a set of five.

  2. 02

    Openers you have already lifted

    Every attempt is picked from your own logged sets, so the first one is never a guess.

  3. 03

    Deadlift on fresh legs

    Squat and bench on the first test day, deadlift 48 to 72 hours later.
