What is One Rep Max (1RM)?
One Rep Max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise. It's a key metric in strength training used to:
- Determine training loads and percentages
- Track strength progress over time
- Compare performance across different exercises
- Design periodized training programs
1RM Calculation Formulas
This calculator uses 7 proven formulas to estimate your 1RM:
- Epley: 1RM = Weight × (1 + Reps/30)
- Brzycki: 1RM = Weight × (36/(37-Reps))
- Lander: Most accurate for 2-10 reps
- Lombardi: Uses exponential calculation
- Mayhew: Based on exponential regression
- O'Conner: Simple linear formula
- Wathan: Alternative exponential method
The average of all formulas provides the most reliable estimate.
Training Percentages Guide
Common training percentages and their typical uses:
- 50-60%: Warm-up, technique work, high-volume training
- 70-75%: Hypertrophy (muscle building), moderate intensity
- 80-85%: Strength training, lower rep ranges
- 90-95%: Maximum strength, powerlifting, peaking
Safety Note: Always warm up properly and consider having a spotter when lifting heavy weights.
