How to use this chart: Find your target rep range in the table to determine the weight you should use. For strength (1–5 reps), use 85–100% of 1RM. For hypertrophy (6–12 reps), use 65–85%. For endurance (12+ reps), use below 65%.

Safety: Never test an actual 1RM without a spotter and proper warm-up. These formulas assume good form and full range of motion. Sources: Epley (1985), Brzycki (1993, JOPERD), LeSuer et al. (1997, JSCR).
