How the estimate works
This calculator shows estimates from the Epley and Brzycki equations. Both use a submaximal set to estimate the heaviest load you might lift once. Formula estimates can differ and are less reliable at higher repetition counts. Do not attempt a maximal lift without appropriate experience and safe conditions.
