461.5 lbs

A set of 9 reps at 355 lbs is

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:

355 × (1 + 9 ÷ 30)

=

355 × 1.3

=

461.5 lbs
