Calculating your 1 Repetition Maximum<\/strong> is very important to optimize your strength training<\/strong>. It is even more important when starting out because we generally have no idea of the weights to use for a movement as this 1RM represents the maximum load an athlete can lift for a single repetition with correct technique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By basing your workouts on your 1RM, you can precisely target the type of result you want to achieve, whether it’s strength, hypertrophy, or muscular endurance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And another very important advantage for your longevity is that by knowing your 1RM, you avoid overestimating your abilities and exposing yourself to injury risks<\/strong>. Because the majority of injuries come from too heavy loads due to ignorance of one’s limits.<\/p>\n Finally, regularly tracking your 1RM is an excellent indicator of progress<\/strong>. We often think we are not progressing, but by regularly measuring your 1RM, you realize that year after year, if the dedication is there, your strength increases.<\/p>\n To use our calculator, choose the weight unit you prefer by toggling the switch between kilograms (kg)<\/strong> and pounds (lbs)<\/strong>. Then, enter the weight lifted<\/strong> during your last workout and adjust the slider to indicate the number of CORRECT repetitions<\/strong> (with perfect form) you performed on the movement. Note that the accuracy of the calculation decreases for higher repetitions.<\/p>\n Our calculator remains an estimate<\/strong>. Your true 1RM may vary slightly depending on factors such as your technique, your level of fatigue, and your condition at the time of the test.<\/p>\n\n
