Strength calculator

One-Rep Max Calculator

Estimate the heaviest weight you could lift for one clean rep without testing a true max. Enter a recent set, choose Epley, Brzycki, or the average of both, then use the percentage table for workout planning.

How the formulas work

Epley uses 1RM = weight * (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki uses 1RM = weight * 36 / (37 - reps). Both are estimates, and they are generally more useful from lower-rep sets than very high-rep endurance sets.

Keep your inputs to clean reps with consistent form. If a set broke down or included forced reps, the estimate may be too high for programming.

Use your estimate with exercise guides

A 1RM estimate is most useful when paired with repeatable technique on the same lift. Start with these common strength movements, then use the calculator again when your working sets improve.
