1RM Calculation
Enter your lift weight, repetitions, and select a formula to calculate your one-rep max
reps (1-10)
1RM = W × (1 + r ÷ 30)
Most commonly used, good for 1-10 reps
1RM = W × 36 ÷ (37 − r)
Conservative estimate, best for 2-10 reps
1RM = W × r^0.10
Based on power function, good for all rep ranges

About One-Rep Max Testing
Formula Comparison
- Epley:Most popular, linear progression
- Brzycki:More conservative, asymptotic curve
- Lombardi:Power function, works across all rep ranges
- Accuracy:All formulas are within ~10% of actual 1RM
Best Practices
- Use weights you can lift for 3-8 reps for best accuracy
- Ensure proper form throughout the test set
- Rest adequately between attempts
- Test when fresh, not after other training
Safety Considerations
- Warm-up:Always perform proper warm-up sets
- Spotter:Use a spotter for bench press and squats
- Progressive:Work up gradually to test weight
- Recovery:Allow adequate recovery between max efforts
