What is 1RM....???

         The term 1RM mentions one rep maximum in weight training.The maximum amount of weight that a person can lift in one single repetition is known as 1RM.



The video description for 1RM test



Calculating Your One Rep Max

      A one rep max is the true weight you can lift on any given exercise for that muscle group.

There are two ways to figure out your one rep max.

  • Load up the bar with as much weight as you think you can do. This is not safe and is a good way to injure yourself.
  • Use a one rep max formula

                          1RM = (Weight lifted X 0.0333 X Reps)+ Weight lifted

List of 1RM exercise for specific bodypart
Chest - Bench press
Legs - Squats
Shoulders - Military press
Lower back - Deadlifts
Biceps - Barbell curls

Triceps - Close grip bench press

Perform the following sets:
Warm up with 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps
Warm up heavier with 1 set of 6-8 reps, using a weight you can lift 10-12 times
1 working set of less than 10 reps to failure.
