Could someone please put up the address for the 1RM calculator site.

My old computer crashed and died big time. Of course, I did not have my site
list backed up.

There are several of them, here's one

p.s. There are several automated net-based backup systems that work
pretty well, and I understand that the prices are as low as 100 bucks
per year now.

They appear to be using the wgt x reps x .03 + wgt = 1RM formula which I've
always liked. I'm using that formula in my Palm Pilot spreadsheet - you can
juggle the numbers and figure out how many reps of a given weight you should
expect based on you estimated 1RM.

I could put them on the Links page.

You should never encourage a mathematician to talk about formulas, he'll
never shut up. Here's another formula that was found (LeSuer and
McCormick,"Prediction of a 1RM bench press and a 1RM squat from
repetitions to fatigue using the Brzycki formula", National Strength and
Conditioning Associatin 16th National Conference, Las Vegas, NV, 1993)
to correlate at the .99 level for bench presses:

Let x=number of reps lifted and y=weight lifted, then 1RM=

y/(1.0278-.0278x)

The relationship is not quite linear for x>10 and it was developed for a
general population that probably lacks the muscle endurance of serious
lifters.

Here is another site that has a 1rm calculation as part of an overall
lifting package, don't know anything more about it than that:

This question comes up frequently, maybe the ASW web site could collect
the various places for 1rm calculations?

Wow! Quick and excellent responses. Thanks. The formulas are a big bonus.
