Difference Between 1RM and Reps

[Voxel]

@hxc88

for example i can probably do 8 pull ups with bodyweight but can do one rep with 15kg

I don’t know, I think this tracks. It’s been a while since I went for max reps on pull-ups but the last time I did I did 22 reps and my 1RM chin-up at the time was 40 kilos.

Estimated 1RM Percentages Off the Chart for Me

Depending on muscle fiber ratio and training experience there can be a lot of variation relative to the charts. In fact you can use the80% test to estimate your muscle fiber dominance. You try to get as many reps with your 80% as you can. The number of reps you get gives us a clue about your fiber dominance (at least in the tested muscles). Traditionally… 80% of max 3-4 reps = VERY fast twitch dominant 5-6 = fast twitch dominant 7-8 = High proportion of fast twitch and intermediate fibers …

What’s your experience level?
