One Rep Max for 150 kg × 8 reps
One Rep Max Calculator
What is the one rep max for 150 kg × 8 reps?
Answer
Lifting 150 kg for 8 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
190 kg
A set of 8 reps at 150 kg is
78.9%
of your estimated one rep max
Note: this is an estimate, not a tested max. Rep-based formulas are closest at 2–6 reps and drift further apart as the set gets longer. Warm up and use a spotter before attempting a true single.
How to Calculate One Rep Max
Epley Formula: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)
The Epley formula assumes that every extra repetition you can complete corresponds to roughly 3.33% more weight on the bar. Put your set into it:
150 × (1 + 8 ÷ 30)
=150 × 1.2667
=190 kg
