Pull Up Calculator

Use this pull up calculator to calculate your one rep max.

This calculator also works for weighted dips.

If bodyweight pull ups or dips are too easy for you, throw your numbers in the calculator and figure out your 1RM.

Pull Up 1RM Calculator

Using the pull up calculator is straight forward...

• Step 1: Enter your bodyweight

• Step 2: Enter the additional weight you're throwing on

• Step 3: Enter the number of reps done with additional weight on

• Step 4: Click "Calculate 1RM" to get your estimated one rep max

Calculator Formula

This calculator uses the Epley formula to calculate your one rep max (1RM).

Here's the equation: 1RM = W x (1 + R/30)

What the hell does that mean? Let me break it down for you...

• 1RM: This is your one rep max

• W: Weight lifted (bodyweight + extra weight)

• R: The number of repetitions divided by 30

Plugging Numbers Into The Formula

As an example, I'll use someone who weighs 150 lbs, throws on a 20 lbs weight vest, and does 8 reps.

Plugging these numbers into the formula will look like this: 1RM = 170 (1 + 8/30)

So first I'll solve what's inside the parentheses --> 8/30 = 0.266, then add 1 = 1.266

Then multiply that by 170 to get a 1RM of 215 lbs.

Use The Pull Up Calculator

I've shown you the formula and how you can plug in numbers but there's no need to rack your brain with all that math.

Plug your three numbers into the calculator and in a matter of seconds you'll get your estimated one rep max.

Now you'll have an idea of how much weight you can add on to your calisthenics.

And remember, this works for dips too.
