1 Rep Max Calculator

Find YourTrue Strength

Enter a hard working set, pick your lift, and get an instant 1RM estimate plus training percentages you can actually use in the gym.

Bench, squat, deadlift, OHP, row
Epley + Brzycki + Lander
Instant strength percentages

Epley is shown as the headline number. The average across all three formulas is included so you can gauge the estimate against a wider formula band.

Set Input

Turn one hard set into a usable max estimate

Enter the weight you lifted, the reps you completed, and the lift you want to anchor. The result updates instantly.

Quick rep picks

Optional, but useful if you want the page copy to stay aligned with the lift you are testing.

Primary output

Epley stays front and center as the lead 1RM estimate.

Consensus check

Average all three formulas to see whether the estimate clusters tightly.

Plug in a hard set

Example: 100 kg for 5 reps on bench press or 225 lb for 8 reps on squat. Once the set is entered, this panel fills with your estimated max and training percentages.

Why use 1RM?

It turns guesswork into load targets

A usable max estimate gives you a base for programming. Even if you never test a true single, percentages make it easier to progress your top sets and back-off work on purpose.

When it is strongest

Lower-rep sets produce tighter estimates

The formulas still work higher up the rep ladder, but the estimate gets wider as fatigue, pacing, and exercise technique start to drive the set more than raw strength.

Best next move

Pair the number with progressive overload

Once you have a clean 1RM anchor, the real value comes from a plan that tells you how often to push, when to wave volume, and how to keep the lift moving month after month.
