How is 1RM calculated?Updated 2 months ago

The estimated 1RM with OVR Velocity will show on the past data screen for squat / deadlift / bench press exercises.

It will use your best velocity at each weight recorded, and needs at least 3 weights to begin estimating. A trend line will be calculated, finding the weight of your slowed possible rep (minimum velocity threshold).

If the e1RM seems inaccurate, it may be due to the following:

  • Minimal data saved in exercise
  • Some of the weights best velocities were not maximal intent
  • If your e1RM is lower than an actual rep completed, this may indicate you achieved a rep slower than the estimate MVT

Note your MVT will be estimated based on the lifter experience setting on the profile tab.
