Cynic,

I can't speak for Galya, but I read her post to mean, why not look at the workouts you've done in the recent past and use the calculators to make a guess at your 1RM. So if you did a 6 rep set recently, use that number, use the 1RM calculator and you'll get a number that is something to shoot for. Use that number to decide on your warm-up sets and reps. It will give you a starting place for your real 1RM test day.
