If you want to use periodization in your strength training, you need to know what your maximum weight for one repetition (1RM) is. You also need to know various percentages of that weight. Here is a simple spreadsheet that will calculate 30-95% of your 1RM for you. You just need to enter your 1RM for each of the lifts you do. There are several lifts included but any or all of them can be changed to suit your needs. |
