Leg press one-rep max calculator

Enter a leg press set you actually did. Epley, the formula the app uses, turns it into an estimated 1RM (e1RM); Brzycki gives a second opinion, and the table below it turns the max into working weights.

Weight Reps

Unit

kg lb

Estimated 1RM (Epley, as in the app)

201.25 kg

Brzycki says 194.06 kg

Percentages of that max

For programming off a percentage. The rep column is what Epley says a set at that load is worth to failure. Rounded to 0.5.

% of 1RM	Weight	Reps to failure
100 %	201.5 kg	1
95 %	191 kg	1.6
90 %	181 kg	3.3
85 %	171 kg	5.3
80 %	161 kg	7.5
75 %	151 kg	10
70 %	141 kg	12.9
65 %	131 kg	16.2
60 %	121 kg	20
55 %	110.5 kg	24.5
50 %	100.5 kg	30

Where that max puts you

Compare the e1RM with the leg press strength standards: an 80 kg man is Intermediate from 200 kg, a 60 kg woman from 108 kg. The page has the full table by bodyweight and a calculator that takes the same set.

Leg press e1RM by weight and reps

Epley e1RM for each weight (rows) and rep count (columns), rounded to 0.5. The formula has no unit, so read the same table in lb.

The formulas

Epley: e1RM = weight × (1 + reps / 30). Brzycki: e1RM = weight × 36 / (37 − reps). A single is taken at face value by both. They agree closely near 10 reps and drift apart below and above; past about 10 reps either is a rough guess. Beatweek uses Epley everywhere: PRs, the strength level, the e1RM trend.

In the app every logged leg press set is checked for four PRs: e1RM, max weight, reps at a weight and session volume. The trend is split into the rep buckets 1–5, 6–10 and 11+, so a 5-rep PR and a 12-rep PR are not confused for each other.

Sets that count as leg press: Leg Press.
