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.
Enter a hard working set, pick your lift, and get an instant 1RM estimate plus training percentages you can actually use in the gym.
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.
Enter the weight you lifted, the reps you completed, and the lift you want to anchor. The result updates instantly.
Optional, but useful if you want the page copy to stay aligned with the lift you are testing.
Epley stays front and center as the lead 1RM estimate.
Average all three formulas to see whether the estimate clusters tightly.
Pull exact working weights for strength, hypertrophy, and conditioning blocks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
