THIS NUMBER IS WHAT YOU WARM UP INTENDING TO DO. A MEET SITUATION WILL INVOLVE THREE ATTEMPTS, AND THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO DETERMINE A TRUE 1RM

       THE FIRST ATTEMPT WOULD BE A WEIGHT YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO FOR A HEAVY SET OF THREE. THE SECOND ATTEMPT WOULD BE A WEIGHT YOU KNOW WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THAT YOU COULD DO FOR A SINGLE, HAVING JUST DONE THE FIRST ATTEMPT. AND THE THIRD ATTEMPT IS THE WEIGHT YOU WANT TO DO, BASED ON YOUR PERFORMANCE ON THE PREVIOUS TWO ATTEMPTS.” -FROM THE CF JOURNAL
