Questions lifters ask

How do you calculate your one-rep max (1RM)?

Estimate it from a weight you can lift for a known number of reps. Gym Log averages two proven formulas — Epley (weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)) and Brzycki (weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)) — then shows a training-percentage table. Enter the weight and reps in the 1RM tab. Estimates are most accurate at 1–10 reps.

How much do I put on each side of the bar?

Subtract the bar weight from your target, divide by two, and load the largest plates first. The Plates tab does this automatically: enter the target total and pick your bar (lb or kg) and it lists the exact plates per side.

How accurate is a 1RM calculator?

It is an estimate, not a measured max. Rep-based formulas are most accurate in the 1–10 rep range, usually within a few percent of a true one-rep max; above 10 reps they drift high. Averaging Epley and Brzycki reduces the error of either one alone.

What bar weight should I use?

A standard Olympic barbell is 45 lb (20 kg). Women's Olympic bars are 35 lb (15 kg); many technique bars are 15 lb (7 kg). Set the bar to match what you actually load so the per-side math is exact.

Is Gym Log free and private?

Yes — free on the web, no account, no ads, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your sets never leave your device. Unlike subscription trackers there is nothing to sign up for. An optional one-time Pro unlock in the app adds unlimited logging and export.
