How the 1RM calculator works
This calculator uses the Epley formula: 1RM = Weight x (1 + 0.0333 x Reps). It is most accurate at 3-5 reps and degrades beyond 10 reps as muscular endurance starts to dominate.
Using the percentage table
90-100% (1-3 reps): max strength. 80-90% (3-6 reps): strength. 70-80% (6-12 reps): hypertrophy. 60-70% (12-20 reps): endurance and conditioning. 50-60%: speed and power work.
Disclaimer
Educational estimate only. Never attempt weights beyond your trained capability. Warm up thoroughly, use proper form, and have spotters or safety equipment for heavy lifts.
