What Is The Number Of Reps Required To Go Up A Weight And Make The Next Weight 5RM?

Using the formula again:

1RM = 0.0333 x weight x reps + weight
w = working weight, r = working reps
W = goal weight, R = goal reps ie 5

0.0333wr + w = 0.0333WR + W
0.0333wr = 0.0333WR + W - w
r = (0.0333WR + W - w) / 0.0333w
