About 1 Rep Max Calculator
Our 1 Rep Max (1RM) Calculator is a specialized strength training utility designed to estimate the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition of any exercise. Knowing your 1RM is essential for programming your strength training, as most professional routines use percentages of your max to ensure progressive overload. This tool uses the Epley and Brzycki formulas to provide a safe and accurate estimate based on your performance with lighter weights. Built for privacy, all your strength data is processed locally in your browser, keeping your training history secure.
