Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- Inputs
- The values entered in the fields above
- • Epley estimated 1RM=lifted load×(1+completed repetitions/30). Load and result use the same unit. This is an estimate from a repetition-to-fatigue set, not an actual maximal lift.

- • Require positive load and positive integer repetitions; avoid extrapolation to high-repetition sets. If one completed repetition is treated as a measured 1RM, return the load explicitly: the Epley extrapolation at r=1 otherwise gives 1.033×load. Exercise and population affect error.
Important limitation
This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
