1RM equations used: Epley:


            load × (1 + repetitions ÷ 30)

. Brzycki:


            load × 36 ÷ (37 − repetitions)

Clinical note: Estimated 1RM and calculated working loads are mathematical estimates, not automatic treatment recommendations. Exercise selection, load, effort, pain response, precautions and progression remain the responsibility of the treating professional.
