1RM Calculator

Estimate 1RM, 10RM, 20RM, and 30RM from a recent working set.

1RM Calculator

Estimate 1 · 10 · 20 · 30

Enter a recent clean working set first, then use the estimated 1RM, 10RM, 20RM, and 30RM loads below.

Working set

Use a set you would count as clean. If the reps were ugly, lower the training max or ask Trey before pushing heavier.

Estimated 1RM is the math estimate of what the set points to for one hard rep.

Training max is 90% of that estimate. Use it when you want more conservative percentage work.

10 / 20 / 30 RM are programming loads on the same Epley curve: 75%, 60%, and 50% of estimated 1RM. Put those on the bar. Do not grind a true 30-rep test just to feed the calculator.

Next training decision

Good programming baseline

A 216 lb estimated max and 194 lb training max are enough to start structured progression.

Next step: Use the training max for conservative loading, then track whether the prescribed sets stay clean over the next phase.
