Which formula is used?

Epley: weight × (1 + reps/30). Best for roughly 1–12 reps.

Is an estimated 1RM exact?

No. It is an estimate. Fatigue, technique, and lift type all change the result.

Usually no. Use submaximal sets and estimates instead of true singles.

Log sets and progressive overload in the workout logger so loads climb over time.

Estimate your one-rep max from a submaximal set using the Epley formula, then use percentage tables to pick working weights for your plan.
