This calculator is universal in terms of gender. It will show you what weight you should use for various exercises. Let me clarify that it does not include exercises on machines, but only with free weights. The thing is, the construction of machines can vary, and 40 kg on one machine can feel like 80 kg on another.

It is not necessary to specify results for all exercises. However, in that case, the calculator will not be able to calculate certain exercises for you. Ideally, it is better to indicate the weight for as few repetitions as possible. This way, the calculator will be more accurate. IMPORTANT: the weights and repetitions you specify must truly be your maximum.

For the last 3 exercises, you need to indicate the maximum number of repetitions without weight for 1 set. If you cannot, for example, do dips on parallel bars, you can indicate push-ups from a bench behind you.

P. S. Don't forget to periodically save your data on the server (the gear icon at the top of the screen). This way, you can reload them if they ever disappear or transfer them to another device.
