Progression in practice

Progression's listing describes strength logging, named estimated-max formulas, weekly hard-set volume and exportable history. A visible formula matters because changing it can change the interpretation of progress.

Estimated one-rep max comparison

Two estimated-max formulas can produce different numbers from the same set. Enter a weight and completed repetitions to compare Epley and Brzycki, inspect the arithmetic and keep a consistent reference when reviewing your training log.

Open this tool

Compare lifting progress consistently

Consistent comparisons begin with consistent records. Save the exercise, load, repetitions and conditions before looking at the estimated maximum. Use the calculator to understand the estimate rather than to chase a test day.

Progression vs Hevy for strength logging

Compare how each app records your actual sets and lets you retrieve the history. Formula transparency and routine sharing solve different needs; neither replaces sound technique or individualized coaching.

Estimated one-rep max comparison

Two estimated-max formulas can produce different numbers from the same set. Enter a weight and completed repetitions to compare Epley and Brzycki, inspect the arithmetic and keep a consistent reference when reviewing your training log.

Epley uses weight × (1 + reps/30); Brzycki uses weight × 36/(37 - reps). At one repetition, the completed weight is shown as the observed single. Compare sets performed under similar conditions.

What to keep in mind

An estimated maximum is not a lifting prescription or a measured maximum. High-repetition sets, fatigue and technique reduce its usefulness. The web tool does not assess readiness, injury risk or an appropriate training load.
