Muscular Endurance Testing at 75% of One-Rep Max
Use the same movement for both strength and endurance assessment: first test a one-rep max, rest about 5–7 minutes, then reload the exercise to 75% of that max and perform as many repetitions as possible. The rep count helps reveal muscular endurance capacity, with very low totals suggesting an endurance deficit even when maximal strength is adequate.

“The other way to assess muscular endurance is take the exact strength test you did from the talk five minutes ago Which one did you do Load that to 75 and then do that for as many repetitions as you can And that is a tremendous barometer of muscular endurance”
