How one rep max is estimated

A one-repetition maximum (1RM) is the heaviest weight you can lift for exactly one repetition. Since testing true 1RM is risky, strength coaches use submaximal formulas: lift a weight you can handle for 2–10 reps, then estimate 1RM mathematically. This tool averages five formulas — Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, Mayhew, and O'Conner — for a balanced estimate. The percentage table shows training loads: 80% is the standard hypertrophy range (8–12 reps), 85–90% is strength, and 95–100% is peaking. Best accuracy is achieved with 2–5 rep sets.
