How it works

Estimates your one-rep max from a set of fewer reps, averaging two well-known formulas, with a percentage table for programming.

Example

100 kg for 5 reps estimates a 1RM of about 115 kg.

For general information only, not medical advice. Individual needs vary — consult a qualified health professional. Attempting a true 1RM without a spotter and warm-up risks injury.
