Calculation method and formula
Training weight [kg] × (1 + Good-form reps ÷ 30)
Understand the inputs
- Training weight
- Unit: kg. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
- Good-form reps
- Minimum 1. Maximum 15. Whole number.
Assumptions and limitations
1RM uses the Epley approximation; one repetition returns the entered load. High repetition counts are less accurate. The estimate is not an instruction to attempt a maximum lift.
For one repetition, the lifted weight is already the observed 1RM and is returned unchanged. For 2–15 repetitions Epley is used; higher repetition counts increase uncertainty.
The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
