Does anyone out there know how to calculate the 1RM Max from sets you do in a normal workout? This site does it for you, but I'd like to know the formula so I can apply it to my past workouts to see gains over time.

Thanks

Ben

Muscle and Fitness' last issue had a chart, but pointed out that depending on your amount of time lifting it may not be very accurate. If you can't find the article online, let me know and I will dig it up and post the pertinent info.
