One Rep Max for 70 lbs × 6 reps
One Rep Max Calculator
What is the one rep max for 70 lbs × 6 reps?
Answer
Lifting 70 lbs for 6 reps gives an estimated one rep max of
84 lbs
A set of 6 reps at 70 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:
70 × (1 + 6 ÷ 30)
=70 × 1.2
=84 lbs
