Estimates work best for sets of about 1 to 10 reps and get less accurate at high rep counts. Warm up, use a spotter and lift within your limits when testing near your max.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is one rep max estimated?
It uses two well known formulas. Epley is weight times one plus reps over thirty. Brzycki is weight times thirty six over thirty seven minus reps. The tool averages them.
How accurate is it?
Estimates are most reliable for sets of about one to ten reps. Beyond that the numbers drift, so use higher rep sets only as a rough guide.
What is the percentage table for?
Training programs prescribe loads as a percentage of your max. The table converts your estimated max into working weights and typical rep targets.
Should I actually test a true max?
You can, but it carries more injury risk. Estimating from a submaximal set is safer and good enough for programming for most lifters.
Does it work for any lift?
Yes, for standard barbell lifts like squat, bench and deadlift. Very technical or unstable movements are less predictable.
Is my data private?
Yes. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
