PICK YOUR NEXT MOVE.
Three calculators for numbers you can estimate, plus three more ways to plan and compare your sessions. Free, without a DRYVE account.
Progressive overload
Explore equivalent-effort targets when you change the load on the same lift.
OPEN CALCULATOR ↗ NEW / SESSION COMPARISONTraining volume
Calculate sets × reps × weight across two sessions and see the difference.
COMPARE SESSIONS ↗ NEW / EXERCISE LIBRARYExercise comparison
Compare muscle targets, equipment and technique from 509 DRYVE exercises.
COMPARE EXERCISES ↗ STRENGTH ESTIMATEOne-rep max
Estimate your maximum with Epley and Brzycki from a completed set.
ESTIMATE 1RM ↗ REP PLANNINGRep targets
Explore an estimated weight at another rep count for the same exercise.
PLAN YOUR SET ↗ BARBELL SETUPBarbell plates
Work out which plates to put on each side for your target total.
LOAD YOUR BAR ↗01 / ESTIMATE YOUR STRENGTH
ONE-REP MAX.
Use a hard but controlled set to estimate a single-rep maximum. This is a calculation, not a test of your absolute strength.
Most useful with a demanding set of roughly 2–10 reps. Different exercises and lifters can produce different results.
YOUR ESTIMATED 1RM
Estimated using Epley from 100 kg × 5 reps.
Calculated values are approximations, not recommended maximum attempts. Technique, fatigue and equipment can change performance.
02 / PLAN A SET
REP TARGETS.
Using the estimated 1RM above, see the approximate weight associated with a different repetition target on the same lift.
This inverse estimate assumes comparable effort and technique. It does not account for the specific exercise or your individual fatigue profile.
ESTIMATED LOAD FOR THAT REP COUNT
This is an illustrative same-exercise estimate, not an instruction to lift this weight.
03 / SET UP YOUR BAR
BARBELL PLATES.
Calculate what to put on each side of a standard bar. Choose the target total including the bar itself.
Assumes matching plates on each side, and unlimited plates of the selected sizes. The plate list is in kilograms, converted for display when you select pounds.
LOAD EACH SIDE
Always verify the bar weight and available plates before lifting.
ABOUT THE NUMBERS
HOW THE ESTIMATES WORK.
What does 1RM mean?
One-rep maximum is the most weight you could lift for one technically sound repetition in a specific exercise. This page estimates it mathematically from a completed set.
Which formulas are used?
Epley: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki: 1RM = weight × 36 / (37 − reps). For a completed single, both return the weight entered. No account or personal lifting data is sent to a server.
Can I compare my bench press with my squat?
Not reliably from 1RM equations alone. Equivalent loads across different exercises require validated exercise-specific reference data. DRYVE does not claim those comparisons here.
Should I test my true 1RM?
You don't need to. Near-maximal attempts involve risk and are best approached with appropriate safety equipment, qualified supervision where necessary and a training plan suited to you.
