Understanding 1RM and Training Zones
What is 1RM?
Your one-rep maximum (1RM) is the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition with proper form. It's used to determine training loads and track strength progress.
Training Zone Guidelines
- Strength (85-100%): 1-5 reps, focus on maximal strength
- Power (75-85%): 3-6 reps, explosive movement training
- Hypertrophy (70-80%): 6-12 reps, muscle size development
- Endurance (60-70%): 12+ reps, muscular endurance
Safety Considerations
Always warm up properly before testing or training at high percentages. Consider having a spotter and ensure proper form to prevent injury.
Formula Accuracy
Different formulas work better for different rep ranges. Brzycki is most accurate for 2-10 reps, while Epley works well for higher rep ranges.
