This calculator estimates max strength from a recent set and shows the spread across several common rep-max formulas.
Strength Training
Rep Max Calculator
Use this rep max calculator to compare several common max-estimation formulas instead of relying on only one method.
How it works
How to use the rep max calculator
Rep Max Calculator is intended for lifters who want a more conservative and balanced estimate than a single formula alone. Use it to compare multiple strength estimates when you want a broader view of your likely max.
Enter the weight and reps from a recent hard set and compare the projected maxes from each formula. The calculator returns a rep-max estimate range.
Different rep-max formulas can disagree, especially as reps climb or set quality becomes less controlled. Use the average and range to guide training decisions rather than anchoring to the highest estimate.
