What it does

Testing a true one rep max is risky. Estimating it from a heavy set lets you plan training percentages safely.

How to use it

  1. Enter the weight lifted and reps completed.
  2. Read the estimated 1RM.
  3. Use the percentage table to plan sets.

Example

100 × 5 gives an estimated 1RM of about 115. Select Try an example above to see it.

When it helps

  • Programming strength training.
  • Tracking progress safely.
  • Choosing working weights.
