How Percentages Work in Weightlifting
All Olympic weightlifting programming is built around percentages of your 1RM. Your coach prescribes a session at 75% and you look up the weight. The closer you train to 100%, the heavier and more demanding the session. Most training cycles sit between 70% and 90%, with competition peaking at 95% and above.
Which 1RM to Use
Always use your actual best lift — the heaviest weight you've successfully completed in training or competition. For snatch and clean & jerk, never use an estimated 1RM from a rep calculator. Those formulas are for strength movements, not the Olympic lifts.
