Suppose you managed to do 9 repetitions with a weight of 80 kilograms. In the graphical calculator below you have to drag the black dot to r=9 and the blue dot to weight=80. Now, you can read of the 1RM prediction of 95.43.

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]

The horizontal axis denotes the number of repetitions, the vertical axis denotes the ratio 1RM/RTF.

How to use this graphical calculator? Suppose you managed to do 9 repetitions with a weight of 80 kilograms. In the graphical calculator below you have to drag the black dot to r=9 and the blue dot to weight=80. Now, you can read of the 1RM prediction of 95.43.
