Maximizing Your Strength Gains: The Relationship Between 1 Rep Max and Rep Count

Are you searching for a way to optimize your strength training and make the most of your 1 rep max (1RM)? One crucial element to consider is the relationship between your 1RM and the number of reps you perform. At Athlon Beast, we utilize a specific table to determine training programs for our clients. Our approach suggests that when performing 8 reps, you should feel like you have 2 more reps in the tank or that your RPE (rate of perceived exertion) is a 9-10 out of 10. Check out our table to see the recommended rep ranges for different percentages of your 1RM. With the right training approach, you can maximize your strength gains and achieve your fitness goals.
