What is One Rep Max (1RM)?
The gold standard for measuring absolute strength
Your One Rep Max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a single repetition with proper form. It's the gold standard for measuring absolute strength in resistance training.
By lifting a submaximal weight for multiple reps, you can accurately predict your 1RM using proven mathematical formulas—safer and more practical than maximal testing.

Best For
Epley
Weight × (1 + Reps/30)
4-10 reps
Brzycki
Weight × 36/(37 - Reps)
1-10 reps
Lombardi
Weight × Reps^0.10
10-15 reps
