Use my free max bench calculator to estimate your one rep max (1RM).
This serves as an estimator of what your 1RM should be based on the current weight and number of reps you’re pushing on the barbell bench press.
By the way, this one rep max calculator can also be used for squats and deadlifts.
Why Use A One Rep Max Bench Calculator?
Table of Contents
The one rep max is the standard measurement of upper body strength used in powerlifting competitions.
Whether you compete or just work out from a garage gym like I do, we all want to know our max bench press potential.
So I had a one rep max bench calculator built that takes all the guesswork out of calculating numbers in my head.
And I’m sharing it for free so you can estimate your one rep max too.

1RM Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate your one repetition maximum (1RM) for bench press, deadlift, and squats.
The One Rep Max Calculator Formula
My bench press max calculator uses the Epley formula.
Here’s the equation if you want to do this manually: 1RM = (Weight × Repetitions / 30.48) + Weight
That’s too much math for me and that’s why I decided to have a one rep max calculator built instead.
Of course, this is just an estimator and your one rep max may vary on different factors, including your strength and form.
How To Increase Your Bench Press
Watch the video above for 11 exercises to increase your bench press.
Using A Sling Shot For Bench Press
The Sling Shot is an elastic band that has a couple of holes for your arms to go into and they connect in the middle via a band.
When you’re benching, the Sling Shot gives you support on both the eccentric and concentric portion of the lift.
So it’s like having a spotter while at the same time taking pressure off your shoulders.
The Sling Shot can also be used for push ups and dips.
