How we edit

Editorial standards

Jacob Young, Editor, is responsible for the words and the formulas on this site. Pages show an updated date and a reviewed date. Those dates change when the page changes, not on a timer.

Sources we will cite

Peer-reviewed papers, federation rulebooks, and primary descriptions of a formula. Each source on a page has to support the sentence it is attached to, and the link has to resolve. A blog recap of a paper is not a source. A textbook claim without a page we can point to is named as a book, not dressed up as a URL.

What we will not publish

Invented user counts, invented averages, invented beginner-to-elite strength tiers, and credentials nobody documented. If a comparison needs a population we do not have, the page says to look at meet data or to use your own log. Example numbers are labeled "Example only".

How formulas are checked

Every 1RM equation has a unit test, including the case of one rep and the case of 100 for 5 under Epley. DOTS, Wilks, IPF GL, and FFMI use the coefficients printed on their pages. If a secondary write-up disagrees with the paper, we follow the paper and say so. The FFMI height adjustment uses 6.3, the factor in the 1995 abstract, not 6.1.

Corrections

Email support@onerepmax.io with the page URL and the sentence you think is wrong. If the correction holds, we change the page and the updated date. We do not run a comments section.
