One Rep Max (1RM) Calculator
Estimate the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition based on your sub-maximal lifts. Uses the Epley Formula.
Why calculate 1RM?
- Safety: Attempting a true 1RM test can be dangerous without spotters. This estimator allows you to test your strength safely using lighter weights.
- Programming (Percent Based Training): Many programs (like 5/3/1) require you to lift a percentage of your 1RM (e.g., "Do 3 sets at 80% of 1RM").
The Epley Formula
We use the most popular formula: 1RM = Weight * (1 + Reps/30).
- Note: Accuracy decreases as reps increase. For best results, use a weight you can lift 3-5 times.
