πŸ’‘ Squat 1RM Estimation

Uses the Epley formula: 1RM = Weight Γ— (1 + Reps/30). Squat strength standards: Beginner (<1Γ— BW), Novice (1-1.5Γ—), Intermediate (1.5-2Γ—), Advanced (2-2.5Γ—), Elite (>2.5Γ— body weight).

The barbell back squat is considered the king of lower body exercises. It works quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core. Proper depth (hip crease below knee) is essential for accurate strength assessment.

100 kg Γ— 5 reps β†’ Estimated 1RM = 117 kg. At 80 kg body weight = 1.46Γ— BW (Novice).
