Progress you can audit.
LevelMaxing runs on published formulas. This page shows exactly how XP, levels, ranks, muscle mastery and one-rep-max estimates are calculated — using the same shared code the app runs.

Level
Level 25 starts at 30,000 total XP
Rank
Level 25 is where C-Rank begins
XP curve
Every level costs 100 XP more than the last.
Level 2 needs 100 total XP, level 10 needs 4,500 and level 100 needs 495,000. Steep enough to mean something, smooth enough that the next level is always within reach.
Level 25
- Total XP to reach it
- 30,000
- XP to clear level 25
- 2,500
- Rank at level 25
- Gold
Level L starts at 50 × L × (L − 1) total XP, so each level costs exactly 100 × L XP more than the one before.
Total XP by level
Levels 1–60, from xpRequiredForLevel
Hover or drag across the chart to read any level. The slider goes to level 200, where SSS begins.
Rank ladder
Eight tiers, from E to SSS.
Rank is recalculated from your level every time your XP changes. E-Rank is not an insult — it is where everyone begins. Here is where each tier starts and what it is called in each mode.

Workout XP
What a session is worth.
Four things decide the XP for a workout. None of them reward padding a log — heavier, longer and harder sessions earn more because they are more work.
Duration
5 XP for every minute, added before the category multiplier.
Exercise volume
Half your estimated 1RM, plus 2 XP for every rep you complete.
Compound vs isolation
Multi-joint lifts earn ×1.3; single-joint isolation work earns ×1.0.
The formulas
session XP = ⌊(Σ exercise XP + 5 × minutes) × category⌋
exercise XP = ⌊(base + 2 × sets × reps) × type⌋
base = ⌊½ × estimated 1RM⌋, or ⌊5% × sets × reps × kg⌋ without a 1RM
type = 1.3 compound · 1.0 isolation
Category multipliers
- HIIT×1.5
- Strength×1.2
- Calisthenics×1.1
- Cardio×1.0
- Yoga×0.9
- Flexibility×0.8
Worked example
Strength session · 45 min
- Barbell bench press+97 XP
3 × 5 @ 80 kg · 1RM 90 kg (Brzycki)
⌊(45 + 30) × 1.3⌋ = 97
- Dumbbell curl+69 XP
3 × 10 @ 14 kg · 1RM 18.7 kg (Epley)
⌊(9 + 60) × 1.0⌋ = 69
- Duration45 min × 5+225 XP
⌊(166 + 225) × 1.2⌋

Muscle mastery
Seven groups, each with its own level.
Every exercise has a primary muscle group and often a secondary one. The primary takes 70% of the exercise's XP and the secondary 30%.

Muscle XP needed per level
Level L starts at 25 × L × (L − 1) muscle XP. Most rewards unlock at levels 5, 10, 15 and 25.

1RM estimation
Seven formulas, matched to your rep range.
When you log a set, LevelMaxing estimates your one-rep max with the formula that is most reliable for that number of reps. Half of that estimate becomes the base XP for the exercise.
Which formula is used
- 1 repThe lift itselfhigh
- 2–6 repsBrzyckihigh
- 7–10 repsEpleyhigh
- 11–15 repsLandermedium
- 16+ repsO'Connerlow
Estimates lose accuracy as reps climb, so confidence drops from high to low past 10 reps.
Every formula
Example: 100 kg × 5 reps · w = weight, r = reps
| Formula | Equation | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Epley | w × (1 + r ÷ 30) | 116.7 kg |
| Brzyckiused | w × 36 ÷ (37 − r) | 112.5 kg |
| Lander | 100w ÷ (101.3 − 2.67123r) | 113.7 kg |
| Lombardi | w × r^0.10 | 117.5 kg |
| O'Conner | w × (1 + 0.025r) | 112.5 kg |
| Mayhew | 100w ÷ (52.2 + 41.9e^(−0.055r)) | 119 kg |
| Wathen | 100w ÷ (48.8 + 53.8e^(−0.075r)) | 116.6 kg |
Quests & streaks
Three quests a day, and a reason to come back tomorrow.
Daily quests are drawn from the pool for your rank and advance automatically from logged workouts. Consecutive days of training build a streak.
How quests work
- 3 daily quests are drawn from the pool for your current rank.
- Each set stays open until 23:59 the following day.
- Strength quests count exercises, reps or kilograms. Cardio quests count cardio and HIIT minutes. Consistency quests need one logged workout.
Starter daily quests by rank

Streak bonus
The streak bonus is 10 XP × streak days, capped at 500 XP from day 50.
