Training Max Calculator
Enter your one rep max and training percentage to calculate your training max — the base number used to derive all working weights in your program.
What Training Max Is Used For
Most percentage-based programs build all training loads from a training max rather than your true 1RM:
5/3/1 Week 1: 65%, 75%, 85% of TM 5/3/1 Week 2: 70%, 80%, 90% of TM 5/3/1 Week 3: 75%, 85%, 95% of TM
With a 90% training max, your 95% week actually challenges you at ~85% of your real maximum — which is heavy but sustainable.
