What is One-Rep Max Calculator?

The One-Rep Max Calculator estimates the heaviest weight you can lift for one rep, based on a lighter set you've already done. It runs your numbers through Epley, Brzycki, and Lombardi formulas so you don't have to risk a true max attempt.

How to use

  1. Enter the weight you lifted and the number of reps you completed in your set.
  2. Select your preferred estimation formula or compare results across all formulas.
  3. View your estimated 1RM along with percentage-based training loads for programming your workouts.

Result

You bench pressed 185 lbs for 6 reps. Using the Epley formula, your estimated 1RM is approximately 216 lbs. You can then plan training sets at 70% (151 lbs) for hypertrophy or 90% (194 lbs) for strength.
