You 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. |

depends on what you are trying to do.... If you are working for a rep max of 10 reps in a set then you are going to use aprox. 75% of your 1RM since that is your 10RM. If you are doing to try and do 3 sets x 6 reps with a constant weight you would want to shoot for a 7-8RM so you would be at around 80% of your 1RM. If it is power training your percentage of 1RM could very greatly depending on what you are trying to accomplish. |
