Quick answer

One rep max is the most weight you can lift once; the Epley formula estimates it as weight × (1 + reps/30).

1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is a 1RM estimate?

Very accurate at 3–5 reps, less so above 8, where technique and conditioning start to dominate.

Should I test my true 1RM?

Rarely — estimates from a heavy triple carry most of the information at a fraction of the injury risk.
