Estimating your max bench press

Your one-rep max bench is the most you can press for a single rep. Testing it for real is risky without a spotter, so most lifters estimate it from a set they've already done. A hard set of 1 to 5 reps gives the most reliable estimate — the more reps, the more the estimate drifts.

Why six formulas

There's no single perfect 1RM formula, so this calculator runs six (Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, O'Conner, Mayhew, Lander) and shows the average plus the spread. A tight spread means the formulas agree; a wide one means treat the number with caution.

The rep-max table

Below the estimate you get a full table — your 3-rep, 5-rep and 8-rep bench and so on, as weights and percentages — the fastest way to pick working weights for your next bench session.

while you're here

I'm also building a thing. It's an offline strength tracker I made for myself — logs your sets, reads out your trends and PRs, and runs entirely on your phone. It's not finished, and to be clear: I don't want your data — there's no account and no server.

Just a tool to keep you organized and a little more honest about your numbers. Want to test it? Come say hi.
