I remember a strength coach once said your 1RM is the amount of weight you can lift if you absolutely had to or you die (hell, I think it was CW). For a pretty busted up guy like myself it isn't worth attempting a 1rm lift. So, simple guesstimation (as gobbla stated) saves me the trouble of going to the ER.
Personally, I use my 6RM range as a guide (it is guesstimated 80% of my max).
Goodluck to ya'
