🏋️ How to Estimate Your 1RM During a Training Session.

With Vitruve, you can automatically estimate your 1RM (One-Rep Max) in real time, helping you train smarter and monitor your strength progress.

📊 Two Ways to Estimate 1RM

There are two main methods:

1. Using a Pre-built Load-Velocity (L-V) Profile
2. Estimating 1RM during a training session ✅ (Focus of this guide)

🚀 Estimating 1RM During Training

1️⃣ Create a Load-Velocity Profile

• An L-V profile must be available for the selected exercise.
• Default equations exist for popular exercises (e.g., squat, bench press).
• For other movements, create a custom L-V profile via the Tests section.

2️⃣ Start a Training Session

• Begin a new VBT training session.
• Choose the exercise with an available L-V profile.

3️⃣ Track Your Estimated 1RM

• As you perform reps, your estimated 1RM will appear at the top of the screen.
• The highest estimate during the session is saved as your 1RM for that session.

4️⃣ (Optional) Adjust Load by 1RM Percentage

• Tap the 1RM estimation at the top of the screen.
• Use the slider to select a percentage of your 1RM (e.g., 70%, 85%).
• The app will calculate and suggest the corresponding training load.

⚠️ Important Notes on 1RM Accuracy

🔒 1RM Filter Automatically Enabled

• Prevents inaccurate estimations by blocking reps that are:
  • Performed at higher speeds than those used in the L-V profile.
• You can adjust the velocity threshold in:
  • Settings > Exercise > ROM Filter

📐 Metric-Specific Equations

• 1RM estimation uses the metric tied to the equation—not necessarily your session's main metric.
• Example:
  • Power clean’s L-V profile uses Peak Velocity → app uses Peak Velocity to calculate 1RM.

📈 Track Your Progress Over Time

• After finishing your session, tap “END” → “SAVE.”
• Your daily 1RM estimate will be stored in the Progress section.
