Use our 1RM calculator to estimate how much weight you can lift in a one-rep max.
Simply enter the number of reps you can do with a given weight (in any unit), and we will calculate not only your one-rep max, but also your 1–10RM.
The results are calculated using Epley’s equation. It is one of the most accurate formulas for calculating 1RM in the squat, bench press, and deadlift.1
Epley’s equation looks like this:
1RM = Weight (1 + Reps/30)
Note that this calculator is also available for free in our app StrengthLog.
