An estimate, not a reason to test a true max without a spotter. New to lifting, injured or with a heart condition? Ask a professional first.

How it works

Your 1RM is the most you could lift once. It’s estimated from a heavier set with two classic formulas, Epley (weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)) and Brzycki (weight × 36 ÷ (37 − reps)), averaged.

The table gives training weights by percentage, rounded to the nearest 2.5 kg or 5 lb, with roughly how many reps each allows.
