Enter your body weight, the weight lifted, and the number of repetitions into the calculator to estimate your one-rep max for the seated leg press exercise.
Seated Leg Press One Rep Max Formula
The following formula is used to estimate the one-rep max (1RM) for the seated leg press:
1RM = (WL + BW) * (1 + 0.033 * R)
Variables:
- 1RM is the one-rep max (lbs)
- WL is the weight lifted on the seated leg press (lbs)
- BW is the body weight of the individual (lbs)
- R is the number of repetitions performed
To estimate the one-rep max for the seated leg press, add the body weight to the weight lifted, then multiply by one plus 0.033 times the number of repetitions performed.
What is a One Rep Max?
A one-rep max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight that a person can lift for one repetition of an exercise. It is a standard measure used to assess the strength of an individual and is commonly used in weight training programs to set appropriate workout intensities.
How to Calculate One Rep Max for Seated Leg Press?
The following steps outline how to calculate the One Rep Max for the Seated Leg Press.
- First, determine your body weight (BW) in pounds.
- Next, determine the weight lifted (WL) on the seated leg press in pounds.
- Next, determine the number of repetitions (R) you can perform with the weight lifted.
- Use the formula to calculate the One Rep Max (1RM): 1RM = (WL + BW) * (1 + 0.033 * R).
- Finally, calculate your estimated One Rep Max (1RM) in pounds.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Body Weight (BW) = 180 lbs
Weight Lifted (WL) = 200 lbs
Repetitions (R) = 10
