Description

\lifecycle

stable

This function takes in the number of repetitions and the lifted weight to calculate an estimated one repetition maximum for that lift. Wathan is probably the best equation to estimate strength.

Usage

calculate_one_rm(reps, lift, equation = "wathan")

Arguments

reps	The number of reps. minimum is 2 reps, maximum is 12 reps.
lift	The weight being lifted
equation	The equation for calculating the 1RM.

Details

Note that 1RM are estimates and can be very different for all exercises. For more information go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-repetition_maximum.

Value

Estimated one rep max
