RPE to Gewichts Rechner — Formel
## How RPE Translates to Weight
RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) uses a 1-10 scale where 10 means maximum effort (no reps left) and lower numbers mean more reps in reserve.
### Formula
**Reps in Reserve = 10 - RPE**
**Effective Max Reps = Target Reps + Reps in Reserve**
**% 1RM = 100 / (1 + Effective Reps / 30)**
This reverse-engineers the Epley formula to find the appropriate percentage of 1RM.
### Example
RPE 8 at 5 reps means you could do 7 total reps (2 in reserve), which corresponds to roughly 81% of 1RM.

Lösungsbeispiel
Deadlift 1RM is 315 lbs. Target: 5 reps at RPE 8.
- Reps in reserve = 10 - 8 = 2
- Effective reps = 5 + 2 = 7
- % 1RM = 100 / (1 + 7/30) = 100 / 1.233 = 81.1%
- Working weight = 315 * 0.811 = 255.4, rounded to 255 lbs
