One-rep max calculations use the Epley formula to estimate maximum strength based on submaximal performance. Strength ratios relative to bodyweight provide context for training level, with elite lifters typically exceeding 1.5x bodyweight.

Progressive overload through percentage-based training allows systematic strength development. Training at 70-85% builds muscle mass, while 85-95% develops maximal strength through neural adaptations.
