One-Rep Max Calculator

Estimate your one-rep max from any working set. Enter a weight and the reps you lifted β€” we compute 1RM with both the Epley and Brzycki formulas.

Formula

Epley: 1RM = w Γ— (1 + reps/30) Β· Brzycki: 1RM = w Γ— 36/(37 βˆ’ reps)

Frequently Asked Questions

Which 1RM formula is more accurate?

Epley is the classic and slightly optimistic at high reps; Brzycki tends to be more accurate for sets under ~10 reps. If the two agree closely, you can trust the estimate.

Why estimate 1RM instead of testing it?

True max testing is exhausting and risky without a spotter. A submaximal set of 3–6 reps gives a solid estimate and far less recovery cost.
