How it works: Perform as many reps as possible with a moderate weight and use a 1RM calculator to estimate your max. Example formula: 1RM = (Weight Reps 0.0333) + Weight.
One-repetition maximum (one-rep max or 1RM) in weight training is the maximum amount of weight that a person can possibly lift for one repetition. It may also be considered as the maximum amount of force that can be generated in one maximal contraction.
In Week 1, youll perform sets of five reps of these big lifts. In Week 2, youll perform sets of three. And in Week 3, youll perform sets of five, three, and one rep of each move. After a deload week lifting lighter weights to recover, the process is repeatedhopefully with more weight on the bar for each move.
Training quantification is basic to evaluate an endurance athletes responses to training loads, ensure adequate stress/recovery balance, and determine the relationship between training and performance.
The Epley Formula: This method involves performing a set of a given exercise with a weight that is close to your estimated 1RM, and then using the number of repetitions that you complete to calculate your 1RM using the following formula:1RM = Weight lifted / (1 + (0.0333 x Repetitions))

As you lift you will get stronger, but to avoid maxing out, use the 1% rulei.e., increase your 1RM by 1% for each rep you complete over the prescribed rep range for your current lift. For example: if you performed your last set at 95% of your 1RM, science tells us you will only be able to complete two reps.
