Calculate your Wendler 5/3/1 training maxes, weekly sets, reps, and percentages for squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press.
Generate ascending, descending, and full pyramid bench press workout sets with exact weights, reps, and volume tracking.
Compare your bench press to strength standards by bodyweight, sex, and experience level. See if you rank beginner, intermediate, advanced, or elite.
Estimate weighted-exercise equivalents for common bodyweight movements and vice versa. Compare push-ups, pull-ups, dips, and similar patterns with familiar gym references.
Compare your deadlift to common strength standards by bodyweight, sex, and experience level. See where it falls on a beginner-to-elite benchmark scale.
Calculate your DOTS score for powerlifting. DOTS is a modern bodyweight-adjusted formula designed to reduce some Wilks-era bias at very light and very heavy bodyweights.
Calculate your IPF Goodlift (GL) Points for powerlifting. The official IPF formula with separate coefficients for classic (raw) and equipped lifting.
Estimate your one rep max using the Brzycki formula. More conservative than Epley at higher reps. Enter weight and reps for your 1RM prediction.
Estimate your one rep max using the Epley formula from the weight lifted and reps completed in a submaximal set.
Calculate your 1RM using the Lombardi formula. Better accuracy at higher rep ranges than Epley or Brzycki. Enter weight and reps for your estimate.
Compare six common 1RM formulas side by side: Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, Mayhew, O'Conner, and Wathen. Use the spread and average as a practical estimate range.
Plan your progressive overload with projected weights over weeks. Calculate weekly weight increases for linear, percentage-based, and undulating periodization models.
Calculate your strength-to-bodyweight ratio for any exercise. Compare your relative strength benchmarks for squat, bench press, deadlift, overhead press, and more.
Calculate optimal rest periods between sets based on training goal, exercise type, and intensity. Get recommendations for strength, hypertrophy, and endurance training.
Convert RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) to percentage of 1RM and vice versa. Full RPE-Reps chart based on Mike Tuchscherer's RIR-based RPE scale.
Calculate your Sinclair Total for Olympic weightlifting. Compare lifters across weight classes using the official IWF Sinclair coefficient formula.
Compare your squat to strength standards by bodyweight and sex. Find out if your back squat is beginner, intermediate, advanced, or elite level.
Calculate your weekly training volume per muscle group with sets, reps, and weight. Compare to volume landmarks: MEV, MAV, and MRV for optimal hypertrophy.
Calculate your Wilks score for powerlifting. Compare strength across weight classes using the official Wilks coefficient formula for squat, bench, and deadlift totals.
