What is the one rep max for 225 lbs × 6 reps?
Answer
Lifting 225 lbs for 6 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
270 lbs
A set of 6 reps at 225 lbs is
83.3%
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:
225 × (1 + 6 ÷ 30)
=225 × 1.2
=270 lbs
