What is the association between the overhead press, front squat, and deadlift, and snatch and clean & jerk? Dr Arthur Zecchin tested all these lifts for 1RM (repetition maximum) in 19 male Brazilian weightlifters who competed at the Brazilian Nationals.

Arthur has a PhD in biomechanics and exercise physiology from the Universidad de León, and does research related to weightlifting in various populations including professional athletes and people with cognitive impairments.

Enjoy!
