TABLE 1.

REFERENCES FOR THE REPETITION MAXIMUM TABLE OF BAECHLE ET AL. [3]

References	Background and detail of references
Baechle T.R. & Earle R.W. [2]	The book is no longer in print but in any case is not a piece of peer reviewed research literature.
Brzycki [4]	Not a piece of scientific research, but an article detailing strength testing. The author provides an equation for predicting a 1RM based on reps-to-fatigue, but does not say on what information this equation is based.
Chapman et al. [5]	The table presented in this study is a combination of other sources presented in this table [4, 8, 17].
Epley [8]	A poundage chart, not based on scientific research.
Lander [17]	This formula “began as a ‘guess-timated’ chart that was eventually published without the author's knowledge” [28]
Mayhew et al. [18]	A study evaluating the accuracy of estimating 1RM from submaximal repetitions.
Morales & Sobonya [19]	The first 1RM table is from “Strength Tech Inc” and is not a study. The second table does include repetitions achieved at percentages of 1RM based on the results of this study.
Wathen [27]	This reference is the previous edition of the book, which contains no peer reviewed research on the 1RM table data.
