Day 1 Athletics

Enter your 1-Rep Max (or estimated max) to generate accurate training weights for each working set. Retest your max every 8–12 weeks. If you consistently exceed the prescribed reps and complete every working set with strong technique, it's time to either establish a new 1-Rep Max or increase your training max by 5–10 lb for your next cycle.

Strength Calculator
