STRENGTH / ESTIMATED CAPACITY
ESTIMATE.
DON'T
PRETEND.
Turn a recent hard set into a practical estimated 1RM range. The estimate is exercise-specific and gets less reliable as rep count rises.
INPUT
YOUR SET.
ESTIMATED 1RM RANGE
—–—
Enter a recent hard set. Use a set with stable technique and a rep count of 12 or fewer.

WHAT THIS CAN'T TELL YOU
Formula estimates are sensitive to exercise, technique, fatigue, rep speed and how close the set was to true failure. They are most useful for trend tracking and load planning—not as proof of a maximal lift. For heavy testing, use appropriate technique, safeties and supervision.
