About the Brzycki Formula:
The formula used to estimate the 1RM is known as the Brzycki Formula:
1RM=weight1.0278−(0.0278×reps)1RM = \frac{\text{weight}}{1.0278 – (0.0278 \times \text{reps})}
It is a widely used and validated method for calculating the 1-repetition maximum (1RM) based on the weight lifted and the number of repetitions performed.
