Could anyone out there give me any advice on how to work out 1 rep maximum, how to warm up to it and what set and rep ranges to use.
Any advice would be appreciated
havent used this formula for a while example is 100kg x 5 reps x .033 = 16.5 kg + 100kg you started with your 1 rep max should be 116.5 kg .This worked well for me but i cant remember if it was .03 or .033 found this a while ago on a USA site . Hope this helps cheers

I think these formulas are of limited use. no substitute for getting under the bar.
the gap between my deadlift 1 and 5 rm is smaller than between my bench 1/5 rm
when i for a 1RM i do 5's at a lower weight then triples at medium weight then 3 singles up to the target 1RM
Formula is only really a guide i might be behind the times but what is this 5 3 1 everyone talks about maybe i might have to start a new thread .I only tried 1 rp max after a 8 to 10 week build up . cheers
