Calculate your estimated 1 rep max for any lift. Know your numbers, track your strength progress, and programme your training zones correctly.
We use the Epley formula: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30). This is the most widely used and validated formula for estimating your one rep max from submaximal lifts.
Strength training (1-5 reps): Use 85-100% of 1RM
Hypertrophy (6-12 reps): Use 65-85% of 1RM
Endurance (12+ reps): Use under 65% of 1RM
