What is the Bench Press Pyramid Calculator & How does it work?

A bench press pyramid is a training method that gradually increases the weight lifted while decreasing the number of repetitions. This approach helps in building both strength and endurance.

The formula to calculate each level of the pyramid is based on your one-repetition maximum (1RM) and the desired percentage of 1RM for each set. The general formula is:

Weight_{set} = 1RM \times \frac{Percentage}{100}

Weight_{set} = Weight for the set
1RM = One-repetition maximum
Percentage = Desired percentage of 1RM

For example, if your 1RM is 200 lbs and you want to start with 75% of your 1RM, the first set weight would be 150 lbs.
