Estimate your one-rep max from a weight you lifted for reps, get a percentage-based training-load table, and see where your lift sits from Beginner to Elite.
Optional — needed to rate your level.
Your one-rep max (1RM) is the most weight you can lift once with clean form. It anchors strength programming: most training loads are set as a percentage of it, so knowing it — even estimated — lets you pick weights that match the goal of each session.
Enter a weight and the reps you completed with it, and the calculator estimates your 1RM using three established formulas, then averages them. Averaging keeps any single formula's bias from dominating, which matters most in the higher-rep ranges where estimates naturally spread.
Epley (weight × (1 + reps/30)) is the classic and tends to read slightly high; Brzycki (weight × 36/(37−reps)) tracks well up to about 10 reps and breaks down near 37; Lombardi (weight × reps^0.10) is a simple power curve. Each is most reliable at low reps — the fewer reps, the closer the estimate to a true max.
The load table walks from 100% down to 50% of your estimated max with the rough reps expected at each. Strength blocks live around 80–95%, hypertrophy around 65–80%, and technique or speed work lower. Use them as starting points and adjust to how the bar actually moves.
A rep-based estimate is a model, not a tested lift — fatigue, technique, and how close you were to failure all shift the number. If you want a real 1RM, build up to it over warm-up singles with a spotter or safeties, not off a calculator alone.
A number is only useful if it drives your training. GetMyCoach uses your strength and goal to build a structured plan with progression and recovery — so your percentages climb week to week instead of staying a one-off calculation.
