How it works

How to use the 1rm calculator

1RM Calculator is intended for lifters who want practical training percentages without maxing out constantly. Use it to estimate top-end strength from a set you have already completed safely.

Enter the weight you lifted and the reps you completed with that weight. The calculator returns a estimated one-rep max.

1RM formulas become less reliable as rep count climbs and as set quality or fatigue changes. Use the estimate to guide training, then compare it to how the weights actually move in real sessions.
