The exact method behind this answer

CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.

Epley = weight x (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki = weight x 36 / (37 - reps). Estimate = average of both formulas.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Strength estimate only. Use proper safety and coaching for heavy lifting.

  • Best for lower-rep sets with good form.
  • Technique, fatigue and exercise type affect real max strength.
  • Do not test maximal lifts without appropriate safety.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

For programming, a conservative training max is usually more useful than chasing the highest theoretical 1RM.

Explain it like I'm 12

One Rep Max Calculator averages Epley and Brzycki estimates and shows a training-max percentage for programming.

Formula

Epley = weight x (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki = weight x 36 / (37 - reps). Estimate = average of both formulas.

Worked example

100 for 5 reps gives about 116.7 by Epley and 112.5 by Brzycki, averaging about 114.6.

Professional note

For programming, a conservative training max is usually more useful than chasing the highest theoretical 1RM.

Regional and unit assumptions

General fitness estimate using the Karvonen heart-rate-reserve method.

Assumptions and limitations

Methodology & Accuracy

How this calculator is checked

CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Formula used

Epley = weight x (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki = weight x 36 / (37 - reps). Estimate = average of both formulas.

Standard or basis

General fitness estimate using the Karvonen heart-rate-reserve method.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.

Master's Tip

For programming, a conservative training max is usually more useful than chasing the highest theoretical 1RM.

Questions

Is 220 minus age exact?

No. It is a rough population estimate and individual maximum heart rate can vary.

What is heart-rate reserve?

It is the gap between estimated maximum heart rate and resting heart rate, used to scale training intensity.

Calculation note

1RM formulas let lifters estimate strength from submaximal sets without always testing a true max.

One rep max needs assumptions beside the result

The calculator keeps the input values, formula trail and limitation note visible so the result can be checked later instead of treated as a magic number.

The printable record is part of the calculator

A useful result is one that can be compared with a statement, plan, workout log, timetable or worksheet after the page is closed.
