Why do I need a maximum limit calculator?
To design a strength training program, you need to know what record weight you can do in one repetition. This is your 100 percent, from which you calculate your percentages for each workout. For example, if your best bench press is 100 kg on one rep it is your best result, or as they say 1RM. You take it as a basis and count working weights, which are supposed to perform on your training program.
There is, however, one thing, it is difficult and dangerous to test your maximum, even experienced athletes can get injured. It is necessary to perform a proper pass and to approach the maximum weights fresh and not "hammered". This is not always possible to do.
And here a special formula, built into the calculator, comes to the rescue. It will save you from having to go through and raise the maximum weight to determine the best result in the desired movement.
How does it work?
For example, you can push a barbell with a weight of 75 kg for 10 times. Take these values and enter them in the appropriate fields of the calculator.
And, miracle, you get your approximate maximum bench press in the 100 kg range.
The calculation algorithm works on the basis of several formulas laid down by famous athletes and coaches.
In short, you save time and effort, and you get ahead of your record in a certain exercise safely.
Of course in any algorithm there are not big corrections and weight adjustments. For the bench press it is about 5 percent, for the deadlift and squats about 10 percent.
You can also use several formulas to calculate by simply marking the desired one in the interface.
Table of percentages
In addition to your weight limit for training, you will need to know all your percentages of it, such as 90, 80, 70 percent, and so on. All this is usually counted manually.
In order to save you from this hassle, below the calculator you will see a table in which the values will automatically appear along with the record result. You can safely take them and use them for your training.
