One Rep Max for 180 lbs × 12 reps
One Rep Max Calculator
What is the one rep max for 180 lbs × 12 reps?
Answer
Lifting 180 lbs for 12 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
252 lbs
A set of 12 reps at 180 lbs is
71.4%
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:
180 × (1 + 12 ÷ 30)
=180 × 1.4
=252 lbs
