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.
