Calculators / Seated Calf Raise 1RM / Load chart

Seated Calf Raise load chart (% of 1RM)

Every 5% step from 60% to 95% of a seated calf raise one-rep max, for maxes from 30 to 120 kg (stack or sled load). Loads are rounded to the 2 kg step the progression engine uses. For a max that is not in the table, the live Seated Calf Raise 1RM calculator recomputes the whole row.

Formula: load = 1RM × % rounded to 2 kg · reps at % = 37 − 36 × % when % ≥ 69.4% (Brzycki inverse), else 30 × (1 ÷ % − 1) (Epley inverse), rounded, shown as 20+ beyond 20 · percentages listed: 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 · catalog: Zyra Workouts exercise data (machine, stack or sled load).

Reading the chart

Each section is one assumed one-rep max — the middle one (60 kg) is the calculator's starting number for seated calf raise. Pick the section nearest your estimated max, read down to the percentage a program names, and the load column is that weight on the 2 kg grid. The reps column is the other direction of the same formulas: how many reps the Brzycki / Epley pair expects a set at that fraction to allow. It describes the arithmetic, not how many reps to do — RIR and the program set that.
