Strength Training Calculators

One-rep max, rep maxes, training max, percentages of 1RM, workout volume, Wilks score and estimated reps.

Key strength training formulas

One Rep MaxEpley: 1RM = w × (1 + reps/30) · Brzycki: w × 36/(37 − reps)
Training MaxTraining max = 1RM × 85–90%
Percentage of 1RMWorking weight = 1RM × percentage
Barbell PlatePer side = (target − bar) ÷ 2, loaded greedily from the heaviest plate
Workout VolumeVolume per set = Total weight lifted (sets × reps × weight) ÷ Total sets
Strength-to-Weight RatioRatio = weight lifted ÷ body weight
Wilks ScoreWilks = total × 500 ÷ polynomial(body weight)
Estimated RepsBrzycki rearranged: reps = 37 − 36 ÷ (weight ÷ 1RM)

Strength Training questions

How accurate are 1RM estimates?

They are reliable for sets of 2–8 reps. Above 10 reps, fatigue and technique make estimates drift high.
