Hypertrophy Working Weight (80%)8–10 Rep Range
112kg
Based on 140 kg 1RM (~247 lbs)
| Percentage | Load (kg) | Load (lb) | Typical Working Rep Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | 140 kg | 309 lb | 1 rep (Max effort) |
| 95% | 133 kg | 293 lb | 2 reps (Heavy strength) |
| 90% | 126 kg | 278 lb | 3–4 reps (Strength focus) |
| 85% | 119 kg | 262 lb | 5–6 reps (Strength / Power) |
| 80% | 112 kg | 247 lb | 7–8 reps (Hypertrophy) |
| 75% | 105 kg | 231 lb | 9–10 reps (Hypertrophy) |

Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: Percentage of Maximum (1RM) Loading Table
Load = 1RM × (Percentage / 100)Foundation of periodized resistance training programs (Prilepin's chart, Wendler 5/3/1).
Model Assumptions
- Accurate 1RM baseline
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage | Prescribed training intensity (e.g. 85%) | dimensionless |
Scientific Limitations
- Individual muscle fiber composition can alter repetition capacity at 80% (e.g. 6 reps vs 12 reps)

Key Finding: 1RM = weight * (1 + reps / 30). Highly accurate for resistance exercises within 1 to 10 repetitions.
