Frequently Asked Questions

What is a one rep max (1RM)?

Your one rep max is the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition with proper form. It's used to measure strength and calculate training weights.

How accurate are 1RM calculators?

Calculators are most accurate with 1-10 reps. Higher rep ranges (10+) become less accurate. We use multiple formulas (Brzycki, Epley, Lander) and average them for better accuracy.

How do I use training percentages?

Training percentages help program your workouts. For strength: 85-95% for 1-5 reps. For hypertrophy: 65-80% for 6-12 reps. For endurance: 50-65% for 15+ reps.
