1-Rep Max Calculator - No Frills

Updated: Dec 29, 2021


To calculate your 1 rep max... pick a weight (something moderate to heavy) and knock out as many reps as you can. Typically, you want to pick a weight that you meet muscle failure between 3-10 reps.


R= Reps

W= Weight


W x (36 / (37 - R)) = 1 Rep Max


Example


I can push 225 for 6 reps.


37-6 = 31


36/31 = 1.16


1.16 * 225 = 261lbs


This would make my 1 rep max, around 260 lbs give or take. Try it out and let me know what your 1 rep max is below.


Holla at cha!
