A fitness metric?

[dk1]

Back into lifting now for about a year and have learned a ton from this site.

My goal is to be in the best shape I can be. To me that means being as strong and lean as possible.

Was thinking of following my 1 rep max on the bigger moves (bench, military press, dead, squat, row, pull down) as a numerator and use my weight as a demominator.

Thoughts on using this as a measure of fitness???

Try Wilks coefficients.

personally I never understood why so many people are scared of the 1RM it is the ultimate and only 100% accurate measure of your progress in that lift.
