Estimate your 1RM and training loads from a lift.

The formula

1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30) (Epley)

A one-rep max is the heaviest single lift you could manage. Estimating it from a lighter set avoids the risk of actually testing it. Epley and Brzycki are the two standard formulas; they diverge as reps climb, so this averages them and stays most reliable under about ten reps.
