Frequently asked questions
- When do Epley and Brzycki diverge most?
- At higher rep counts (8–10+), Brzycki tends to give a slightly lower estimate than Epley. For 1–5 reps, the difference is usually less than 5%. Use the average as a conservative estimate.
- Which formula should I use?
- Either is fine for most purposes. Epley is more widely cited; Brzycki is algebraically equivalent to the Lombardi formula. The best approach is to track your estimated 1RM over time using the same formula.
