What is it?

The squat is a key test of lower-body strength. Relative strength (1RM ÷ body weight) makes it easier to compare progress.

How it's calculated

1RM is estimated from your set with the average of three formulas.

Approximate standards for men: 1.0× novice, 1.5× intermediate, 2.0× advanced; women: 0.75×, 1.25×, 1.5×.
