This little application tries to predict the maximal strength (1RM) based on a repetitions to fatigue (RTF) value.

The calculation is based on the so called KLW formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ 1RM = w\cdot(0.988+0.0104\cdot x+0.00190\cdot x^2-0.0000584\cdot x^3) }[/math]

5101520250.911.11.21.31.41.51.61.7
weight w = 50.00
repetitions r = 9
predicted 1RM = 59.65
