1 RM

1 RM calculatorThe 1 RM calculator allows you to calculate your maximal strength in a given exercise based on the number of repetitions you can can perform with a submaximal load.

Instructions:
1. Pick a weight you can maximally lift 1-12 times.
2. Lift the weight for as many repetitions possible and enter weight and number of repetitions.
3. The top panel shows the estimated RM-values. 1 RM is the maximal weight you can lift 1 time. 2 RM is the maximal weight that can be lifted 2 times, etc.

Background 
One RM is defined as the maximal weight that can be liftet once with good form in a given exercise. Two RM is the maximal weight that can be lifted two times etc. By knowing the maximal weight you can lift a given number of repetitions, you can estimate the maximal weights that can be lifted any other number of repetitons (within limits).

My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different web page and
thought I should check things out. I like what I see so
now i'm following you. Look forward to finding out about your web page again.

Quoting B@HCPhys-ed:
The problem with the 1 rep calculator is that it tries to equate strength (higher reps) with power (1 RM). These are 2 completely different fitness components. An individual can be strong but not powerful and vice versa. The formula for this calculator is rarely accurate. But.... if you want a safe way of determining how much you can't bench, squat or power clean it works very well!


As a competitive international lifter of 15 years I have found this to be pretty good as a rough guide. you obvioulsy don't lift....

the calculator is a bit iffy. Of course it can't really be a hundred percent correct but when you increase the reps, it get's ridicolous.
For example doing 12 repetitions on 70 kg, is not = 1RM 100.8

Think it is more safe if you do low rep excercises for maxium strength (like bench 3x4 etc, or stronglift 5x5)

But anyway, a great upload! I'm always cheering when I type in the reps and weight and see that my max has increased:-)

Stephen:it does not say "pick up a weight", it says"pick a wieght".Any exercise goes. if you can, say, lift 200 lbs. 4 times, put those numbers into the calculatorand it will tell you how many lbs. you can lift 1,2,3,5times and so on.
