The formula to calculate the One-Rep Max (1RM) is:
\[ \text{1RM} = \text{W} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{R}}{30}\right) \]
Where:
A one-rep max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight that a person can lift for one repetition of a given exercise. It is a standard measure used to assess an individual’s maximum strength and is commonly used by weightlifters, bodybuilders, and athletes. Knowing your 1RM can help you set appropriate weight levels for strength training and track your progress over time.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the One-Rep Max:
\[ \text{1RM} = 150 \times \left(1 + \frac{10}{30}\right) = 150 \times \left(1 + 0.33\right) = 150 \times 1.33 = 199.5 \text{ lbs} \]
The One-Rep Max is 199.5 lbs.
