For example, if a person can lift 100 pounds on a given exercise for 10 reps, the estimated one rep max would be 133 pounds for both formulae. However, if the person were to complete only 6 reps, then Epley would estimate a one rep maximum of approximately 120 pounds, while Brzycki would return an estimate of approximately 116 pounds.
She also recommends lifting weights that are 60 to 80 percent of your one rep maximum and following a plan (her recs include push-pull programs and upper/lower splits).
Finding your one rep max is a good gage of strength. Here's how to calculate your one rep max, how to use it, how to improve it, and what a good one rep max is.
Common set & rep schemes are based on a percentage of the lifter's 1RM (one rep maximum—meaning the most weight they are capable of lifting one time). For example, 5 sets of 5 reps (5x5) at 75% of the 1RM. Rest periods between sets range from 2–5 minutes based on the lifter's ability to recover fully for the next set. [136]

A trainer reveals why three to four sets per exercise and eight to 12 reps per set is the ideal amount of sets and reps for weight loss.
The normal distribution is NOT assumed nor required in the calculation of control limits. Thus making the IndX/mR chart a very robust tool. This is demonstrated by Wheeler using real-world data [4], [5] and for a number of highly non-normal probability distributions. [6]
