What is 1RM?
One Repetition Maximum (1RM) is the maximum weight that can be lifted for one complete repetition of an exercise with proper form. It is used to determine training intensities and track strength progress.
How to Calculate
Enter the weight you lifted and the number of repetitions you performed (before failure). Choose a formula (Brzycki is most common). The calculator estimates your 1RM and provides training percentages for different intensity zones.
Limitations
These formulas provide estimates and accuracy decreases above 10 repetitions. Direct 1RM testing is more accurate but carries injury risk. Always use proper form and have a spotter. Consult a fitness professional before maximum strength testing.
