    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.
