Your one-rep max
Estimate your 1RM from the weight lifted and reps.
What Is 1RM?
1RM (one-rep max) is the maximum weight you can lift just once with good form. It is a common way to measure your strength level and set training loads.
Because attempting a true max carries injury risk, it is usually estimated with a formula from the number of reps done with a lighter weight. Calxin uses the average of the Epley and Brzycki formulas.
The resulting 1RM is used to set training loads: high percentages for strength, lower percentages for endurance. For the most accurate result, enter a set of 1–10 reps.
How Is 1RM Calculated?
1RM is estimated with a formula from the number of reps done with a lighter weight. The two most common formulas are Epley and Brzycki:
The two formulas:
Calxin takes the average of these two. For example, 60 kg for 5 reps: Epley 70 kg, Brzycki 67.5 kg → average ≈ 68.8 kg.
Percentages of your 1RM correspond to different training goals:
For the most accurate result, enter a set of 1–10 reps done with good form; the estimate's error grows as reps increase.
