Estimate your 1RM and percentage-based lifting targets.
1RM is estimated from a weight lifted for reps using formulas such as Epley: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30).
Lifting 135 lb for 8 reps estimates a 1RM of about 171 lb.
Epley, Brzycki, and Lombardi are common. Each gives slightly different results; use one consistently to track progress.
Estimating from submaximal lifts is safer than testing a true max. Still, use a spotter and proper form for heavy attempts.
No. Use for training planning. Consult a professional for injury concerns.
