One rep max (1RM)
Seven formulas, a percentage table and working weights for any rep range
Formula and method
Epley: weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30). Brzycki: weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps). The others follow a similar shape but behave differently at high rep counts, which is why the headline figure is an average.
