About this calculator

The Lander formula estimates a lifter's one-rep max (1RM) — the heaviest weight they could lift for a single rep — from a set taken to or near failure at a higher rep count: 1RM = (100 × weight) / (101.3 − 2.67117 × reps). It's one of several competing 1RM formulas (alongside Epley and Brzycki), and tends to track slightly differently at higher rep ranges than those alternatives.

Strength coaches and lifters use estimated 1RM to program training loads as a percentage of max without needing to actually attempt a risky single-rep maximum lift, and to track strength progress over time from ordinary training sets.
