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.
