Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is 1RM?
1RM (One Repetition Maximum) is the maximum amount of weight that a person can possibly lift for one repetition.
It is an important metric for setting intensity in strength training and goals in powerlifting. For example, for hypertrophy, it is common to train at 70-80% of 1RM, and for strength gains, at 85% or more.
Q. Which formula is the most accurate?
Generally, the Epley and Brzycki formulas are widely used, but accuracy varies depending on individual differences and exercises (Bench Press, Squat, etc.).
