1RM Calculator

Estimate your max, then get a useful training target. Most 1RM calculators stop at the max estimate. Jacked also gives a practical next target for training.

Log the set in Jacked and the next target stays with the workout.

How to read the result

Estimate your max, then get a useful training target. The notes below show the assumptions behind that recommendation.

What is e1RM?

Estimated one-rep max is a ballpark strength estimate from a submaximal set. It is useful for trends and targets, not a perfect prediction.

1RM vs PR

A 1RM is a max estimate or test. A PR is what you have actually achieved. Jacked treats estimates as training context.

Why RIR improves the estimate

A set of five with three reps left is not the same as a set of five at failure. RIR lets the formula account for effort.

Best rep ranges for estimating 1RM

Sets around 3-10 reps with clear effort usually produce better estimates than very high-rep sets.

How to use e1RM for hypertrophy

Use e1RM to pick sensible rep-range loads, then let performance and RIR decide the next jump.

Short answers

Which 1RM formula should I use?

The Jacked average uses Epley and Brzycki when valid. You can also view Epley, Brzycki, or Lander directly.

Can I use this for bench, squat, and deadlift?

Yes. Exercise-specific pages can add better examples, but the calculator works for any lift.

Jacked turns your training history into next-set targets, RIR tracking, rest timing, smart warm-ups, PRs, and progress feedback.

Method, assumptions, and privacy

Method

Combines common e1RM formulas where valid, then adds rep maxes, percentages, and a useful target instead of stopping at a max estimate.

Assumptions

High-rep and sloppy sets are lower-confidence. Treat e1RM as a trend and targeting tool, not a guaranteed max.

Privacy

Inputs are handled in the browser for the web tool experience. Jacked should only store lifting data when a user chooses to log it in the app.

Check the method before you trust the number. Bad inputs still produce tidy-looking outputs.

This is one set.

Jacked does it for your whole workout: next-set targets, RIR, rest timing, warm-ups, PRs, and progress feedback.
