Reply With QuoteYou don't really need to know an exact percentage. Just use enough weight so the exercise has the amount of intensity you desire. People are different in that I may perform better in the 2 rep range and you may perform better in the 12 rep range, so it's hard to give an exact figure anyways.
You could always do a search on google for 1RM percentage charts and look at the approximate percentages for each max of the 1RM and base your weights off that.

If it is power training your percentage of 1RM could very greatly depending on what you are trying to accomplish.Optimum Sports Performance
