O'Connor et al

1RM=w(1+0.025r)
(w)Weight Lifted in Reps
(r)Number of Reps.

The O'Conner one Rep Max Weight calculator computes the approximate maximum weight one can lift using the O'Conner formula.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (w) Weight lifted in repetitions.
  • (r) Number of reps.

Max Weight:  The calculator returns the approximate max weight in pounds.  However, this can be automatically converted to other mass or weight units (e.g. kilograms) via the pull-down menu.

Math / Science

Max Repetition Weight formulas like O'Conner's are intended to provide an estimate on the maximum weight one can lift without having to attempt such a lift.  The motivation is to avoid injuries associated with lifting one's max.
