            Understanding One Rep Max

            Estimate 1RM from a submaximal lift (Epley formula). Within health calculators, one rep max belongs to the fitness & training cluster, where it shares terminology and assumptions with closely related tools.

            Learning how one rep max is calculated

            Epley formula. Most accurate for r ≤ 10. Working through the variables one at a time — w, r — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using one rep max to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How one rep max compares with related measures

            training zone, aerobic capacity, progressive overload, MET value all describe adjacent aspects of fitness & training. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
