1 Rep Max Table Updated

 I remembered this twitter post. The correlation between % of 1 rep max to number of reps to failure has been updated. This was a good way to back calculate your 1 rep max. Let's say you take 150-lbs on the bench press and do that to failure of 8 reps. You could use an online calculator to find your 1 rep max. It used to be one equation. Now, a study was done that broke it up by leg press, bench press, and all other exercises. There might be something about the big press movements versus other movements. For accuracy of 1 rep max, lifting a bit heavier and doing less reps will give a more accurate result. So, don't do like 30 reps.
