Question

if you had a 30 - pound barbell at home and you wanted to compare your muscular endurance to your younger brothers, which method would be the best to use?
a. absolute method
b. maxing out
c. prediction of 1 percent rm
d. fixed percentage of 1 max rm
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To compare muscular endurance between two people (you and your younger brother) using a 30 - pound barbell, the absolute method (using a fixed weight) is appropriate. Maxing out is for finding 1RM, prediction of 1 percent RM is not a standard method for endurance comparison, and fixed percentage of 1 max RM would require knowing each person's 1RM first, which is more complex. The absolute method uses a fixed weight to test how many repetitions each can do, making it good for direct comparison.

Answer:

A. absolute method
