Finding Your Ceiling

A 1RM, or one-repetition max, is the ultimate measure of absolute strength. It’s the maximum weight you can lift for a single rep with proper form. Knowing your 1RM is essential for structured strength training as it allows you to calculate the correct intensity for your working sets.

Why Formulas Matter

Direct 1RM testing involves lifting maximal loads, which can be taxing on the central nervous system and risky if your technique isn't perfect. That’s why GymLogic employs validated formulas like the Epley or Brzycki equations.

By analyzing your sub-maximal sets (e.g., 5 reps at 80%), we can provide a highly accurate estimation of your 1RM, allowing you to train with precision without the fatigue of a true max-out session.
