Bench Press Calculator
Calculate your one-rep max bench press with our professional sports calculator.
What is the Bench Press Calculator & How does it work?
The bench press is a fundamental exercise in strength training, particularly for upper body development. It primarily targets the pectoralis major muscles, triceps, and shoulders.
One-repetition maximum (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight you can lift in a single repetition with proper form. Estimating your 1RM is crucial for setting realistic goals and tracking progress in strength training.
1RM = frac{W}{1 – (0.0333 times R)}
W = weight lifted in a single repetition
R = number of repetitions performed
R = number of repetitions performed
