How it works
The formula behind this calculator.

Epley: 1RM = w × (1 + r/30); Brzycki: 1RM = w / (1.0278 − 0.0278r)

w
Weight lifted
r
Number of reps performed (must be < 10)

These formulas estimate your 1RM from a submaximal set. The two diverge as reps climb. They're most accurate in the 1–5 rep range.

Example: 100 kg × 8 reps → Epley 1RM ≈ 127 kg; Brzycki ≈ 113 kg

Ref: Epley (1985); Brzycki (1993)

Tips
  • 💡 Epley and Brzycki diverge as weight approaches 1RM. Test with a submaximal set, not a true max.
  • 💡 Train at 70–85% of your 1RM for strength, 50–70% for hypertrophy.
