Iron in the blood: in pursuit of the one-rep max

Warning: this is not a how-to, it's a stream-of-consciousness ramble about what this particular mode of lifting heavy things means to me, and why I think it's good for the soul to do it from time to time.

You could try a one-rep max calculator. They're not always very accurate, but it's probably within a reasonable margin of error, so it should give you a reasonable starting point. (I have not actually tried to test my one-rep max on anything, so I could be completely wrong though.)
