One rep max calculator. It might be in pounds though............sorry my UK brothers

Also Periodization training graph with percentages.
I like HIT training myself.

Good long read though.

One rep max calculator is really close to my actuals.

Someone else posted that calculator on another board im on and the general opinion was that its not entirely accurate! I dunno why but its miles off for me. My 1RM is only about 20lb more than what i use when im doing a 5x5 routine! When according to that calculator it should be about 70lb more!

I think the best way to find a 1RM out is to try it yourself and see! Oh.. and if its a squat or a bench make sure that its safe to do it!!!!

You guys need to train harder

It didn't even come close to mine. Told me i should be squatting 124kg for a 1RM. LMFAO. Thats 20kg less than it should be.

Just did my DL calc:

It was a full 32kg off my 1RM.
