How can I input my athlete's 1RM's?

1-repetition max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight an athlete can lift for one rep. It is a metric for assessing maximal strength, and is often used in the prescription of weight lifted using the percentage of 1RM.

Through the 1RM feature in the system, this allows you and your athletes to easily set 1RM's for each exercise and also update them whenever needed.

Once set, these can also then be used to set and prescribe %1RM for workouts.

Important: Your Capture app needs to be running at least 2.3.0 for 1RM features. Find out how to update your app here.


How to bulk upload 1RMs on Hub;

  1. Navigate to the 'Athletes' section on Hub

  2. Check the box next the athletes' you wish to edit 1RMs for

  3. Then click 'Bulk 1RM Edit' from the top right of the screen

  4. Select the exercise you would like to edit

  5. Input the Athlete's 1RM

  6. Once finished, click 'Submit'


How to edit 1RMs on Capture;

  1. Navigate to the exercise history screen of the exercise you wish to update the 1RM for.

  2. Tap the '1RM' input field and update the One Rep Max.

Note: We utilise the Mayhew et al. formula in the Capture app. This will assess an athlete's training data (reps and weight ONLY) to determine if they have exceeded their 1RM. If they have exceeded their 1RM based on this formula, it will prompt the athlete to update the value post set completion.

Important: If you want to utilise 1RM tracking for a non-sensor tracking exercise you have created, you must tick the weight and rep based boxes first. You will then see the option for One Rep Max.
