One-Rep Max (1RM) Calculator

Estimate your maximum lifting capacity (1RM) based on weight lifted and repetitions.

Understanding One-Rep Max Calculations

Your **One-Rep Max (1RM)** represents the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a single repetition of an exercise. Knowing your 1RM is essential for structuring training cycles like 5/3/1, linear progression, and progressive overload programs.
