Bench Press 1RM Formula

Formula
$$\text{1RM} = -1.89 + (1.16 \cdot W) + (1.68 \cdot R)$$

Where

  • $$W$$ is the weight lifted (in kg or lbs)
  • $$R$$ is the number of repetitions performed

This formula estimates the maximum weight you can lift once (1RM) based on submaximal effort.


The Bench Press One Rep Max (1RM) calculator helps you estimate your maximum lifting capacity without testing it directly, which can reduce injury risk. Simply enter the weight you lifted and how many reps you completed. This formula is ideal for designing strength training programs and tracking progress over time. Use consistent units (kg or lbs) throughout.

Example:
If you bench 80 kg for 5 reps, your $$1RM ≈ -1.89 + (1.16 × 80) + (1.68 × 5) = 106.91 kg.$$
