How the 1RM Calculator Works
This calculator estimates the maximum weight you can lift for one repetition based on a weight you lifted for multiple reps. This helps you know your max strength without risking injury from an actual 1RM test.
- 1
Enter Weight
Input the weight you lifted in your last set
- 2
Enter Reps
Input the number of reps you completed with proper form
- 3
Calculate 1RM
The tool applies multiple formulas and gives you the estimate
Use Cases
Programming Workouts
Determine training weights as percentages of 1RM
Measuring Progress
Track strength increases over time
Competition Prep
Estimate attempt weights for powerlifting competitions
Tips
- 1
Use 3-6 reps for more accurate estimates
- 2
Ensure reps are performed with proper technique
- 3
Recalculate every 4-6 weeks to update your program
- 4
