One Rep Max for 60 kg × 5 reps
One Rep Max Calculator
What is the one rep max for 60 kg × 5 reps?
Answer
Lifting 60 kg for 5 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
70 kg
A set of 5 reps at 60 kg is
85.7%
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:
60 × (1 + 5 ÷ 30)
=60 × 1.1667
=70 kg
Training Weights as a % of 1RM
