Frequently Asked Questions


A one-rep max calculator is accurate when using a weight that you lifted for around 4 to 6 repetitions.
If a calculator uses an 6+ rep max to estimate your one-rep max, it will be significantly less accurate.

First, you can improve your one-rep max by training the exercises you want to improve. You improve your squat one-rep max by doing squats, your bench press by benching, and so forth.

Research shows this is the most powerful stimulus for strength and muscle gain.
