One Rep Max Calculator

Estimate your single-rep maximum from any set you have already done, using six published prediction formulas. Every formula is shown side by side with its own result, the average of the set, a full percentage table and a warm-up ramp.

Formula by formula

Bar length is relative to the highest estimate. The average sits in the middle of the six.

Epley
116.5
1RM = w x (1 + r / 30) — Epley, B. (1985), NSCA Journal
Brzycki
112.5
1RM = w x 36 / (37 - r) — Brzycki, M. (1993), NSCA Journal
Lombardi
117.5
1RM = w x r^0.10 — Lombardi, V. P. (1989), Sports Fitness
Lander
113.5
1RM = w / (1.013 - 0.0267123 x r) — Lander, J. (1985), NSCA Journal
Mayhew
119.0
1RM = 100w / (52.2 + 41.9e^(-0.055r)) — Mayhew, J. L. et al. (1992)
O'Conner
112.5
1RM = w x (1 + 0.025 x r) — O'Conner, B. et al. (1989), JSCR
Average
115.5

Percentage of your estimated 1RM

Training loads derived from the average estimate, with the reps that load typically supports (Epley inverted). Your own set is highlighted.

Warm-up ramp

Five upward sets ending at 85% — enough volume to prime the movement without eating into your working sets. Rest 60–90 seconds between them.

Loads are rounded to the nearest 0.5 kg; the bar floor keeps the first sets at or above the empty bar weight.

These numbers are an estimate for general information only, not medical or coaching advice. Only a properly spotted attempt measures a true one-rep max — never test a maximal lift alone.

About this tool

Enter any set you completed and the calculator runs it through six published prediction equations — Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, Lander, Mayhew and O'Conner — then averages them. Each formula also drives the percentage table through its own inverse, so the loads and rep counts stay consistent with the formula that produced them. Everything is computed in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
