Enter the weight lifted and your one rep max into the calculator to estimate the number of reps you can perform at that weight.
Bench Press Reps Formula
The following formula is used to estimate the number of reps:
Reps = (ORM / WL * 30 / 40)
Variables:
- Reps is the estimated number of repetitions
- ORM is the one rep max (pounds)
- WL is the weight lifted (pounds)
To estimate the number of reps, divide your one rep max by the weight you are lifting, multiply by 30, and then divide by 40. Use the floor function to round down to the nearest whole number.
What is a Bench Press Reps Calculator?
A Bench Press Reps Calculator is a tool that estimates the number of repetitions a person can perform with a given weight based on their one rep max. This is useful for planning workouts and understanding strength levels. It is important to note that this calculator provides an estimate and actual performance may vary based on form, fatigue, and other factors.
How to Calculate Bench Press Reps?
The following steps outline how to estimate the number of bench press reps:
- First, determine the weight you have lifted (WL) in pounds.
- Next, determine your one rep max (ORM) in pounds.
- Use the formula Reps = floor(ORM / WL * 30 / 40) to estimate the number of reps.
- Finally, enter the values into the calculator to get your estimated reps.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Weight lifted (WL) = 200 pounds
One rep max (ORM) = 250 pounds
