What this means

Your one-rep max (1RM) is the most weight you can lift for a single repetition. Rather than testing a true max (which is fatiguing and risky), we estimate it from a submaximal set using validated formulas, then derive the training percentages used to program strength work.

Recommendations

  • Build strength in the 80–95% range (2–6 reps); build muscle in the 65–80% range (8–12 reps).
  • Re-test your estimate every 4–6 weeks by logging a heavy set of 3–5 reps.

Watch out

  • Estimates lose accuracy above ~8 reps as endurance and technique start to dominate.
  • Always warm up thoroughly and use a spotter or safeties before attempting near-maximal lifts.
