I was wondering if someone could tell me how to work out my max weight for different lifts, I have been told that if I'am lifting say 80lbs and I start fatiguing at 5 - 6 reps then that is my max weight for that excersise. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance

There is a fitness calculator called "1 rep max" on this site...under Fitness Resources. Enter the weight and # of reps. and it will calculate your 1 rep max.
