What is the one rep max for 195 lbs × 2 reps?

Answer

Lifting 195 lbs for 2 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
208 lbs

A set of 2 reps at 195 lbs is

93.8%

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:

195 × (1 + 2 ÷ 30)

=

195 × 1.0667

=

208 lbs
