πŸ’‘ How 1RM Is Estimated

The Epley formula: 1RM = Weight Γ— (1 + Reps/30). This is the most widely used formula and is accurate for 1-10 reps. For higher rep ranges (12+), accuracy decreases.

Strength standards for bench press: Beginner (<0.75Γ— BW), Novice (0.75-1Γ—), Intermediate (1-1.25Γ—), Advanced (1.25-1.5Γ—), Elite (>1.5Γ— body weight). These are approximate benchmarks for untrained through competitive lifters.

80 kg Γ— 5 reps β†’ Estimated 1RM = 93 kg. At 80 kg body weight = 1.17Γ— BW (Intermediate).
