How it's calculated

Epley (1985): 1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
Brzycki (1993): 1RM = weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)

Lifting a true one-rep maximum is risky and tiring, so most lifters estimate it from a harder set of 3–10 reps. The two formulas agree near 10 reps and differ a little at low reps; both lose accuracy past about 10. Use the percentage table to plan sets, and lift with a spotter.
