Been lifting on and off for 5 months. I'm afraid I'll snap my shit up if I try to find out my 1rm. How do I do it safely?
work up to it and just make sure you use all your cues and dont just go nuts on it and snap your shit
1RM is just for dudebro epeen. Just do your sets and move on

The reason I ask is because I want to know what 75% of my 1rm is. There's some science behind training at about that level.

I'd be wary of taking specific percentages too seriously, especially as a beginner. What they actually represent can be all over the place. 60-80% is generally considered the sweet spot but you can see right away how wide that is.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I have work to do on consistency in my form anyway.
