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.
In bodybuilding and weight training, using drop sets (aka dropsets, descending sets, strip sets, the multi-poundage system the stripping method, triple-drops, down the rack, or running the rack) [1] is a technique for continuing an exercise with a lower weight once muscle failure has been achieved at a higher weight.

A repetition maximum (RM) is the maximum weight a person can lift for the indicated number of repetitions. For example, a 10RM is the weight at which a person can do 10 lifts, but fail to fully perform the 11th. Similarly, a 1RM, or one-repetition maximum, is the most a person can fully lift (at least) once.
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).

During the set the lifter must also consider the amount of weight. For any given exercise, only about 60% of the lifter's one rep max should be used. For example, if a lifter's maximum bench press amount is 100 pounds (45 kg) then they should only lift 60 pounds (27 kg) for each rep.
With a few exceptions such as proteins, a polymer consists of a mix of molecules with different chain lengths. Therefore, average values are given for the molecular weight like the number average, the weight average or the viscosity average molar mass. A measure for the width of the molecular weight distribution is the polydispersity index.
