Quick start

A one-rep max, or 1RM, is an estimate of the heaviest weight you could lift once with good form. Enter a recent hard set; you do not need to attempt a maximum lift.

Show the key terms

1RM: Estimated maximum weight for one clean repetition.
Recent hard set: A set completed with good form that was close to your limit.
Training load: A percentage of your estimated 1RM used to plan working sets.

Useful context

Use a recent challenging set of 2–10 clean reps for the most useful estimate.

01

Run a 10-minute trial

Build one routine, log a workout, correct a past set, inspect a previous performance, export data, and find the renewal price. Friction appears quickly.

02

Features that compound

Reliable history, exercise aliases, plate inventory, RPE, rest timers, progression hints, and clean exports become more valuable over months. Social feeds and coaching are preferences, not universal requirements.

03

Protect the exit

Confirm that export preserves dates, units, exercise names, set types, notes, and RPE. A tracker should make your own history portable.
