What is Deadlift Max Calculator and How Does It Work?

Deadlift Max Calculator estimates one-rep max (1RM) from submaximal sets using Epley, Brzycki and Lander formulas. The deadlift calculator supports programming and goal setting.

Formulas

  • Epley: 1RM = W × (1 + R/30)
  • Brzycki: 1RM = W ÷ (1.0278 − 0.0278R)
  • Lander: 1RM = (100 × W) ÷ (101.3 − 2.67123R)

Inputs

  • Weight lifted (W)
  • Repetitions (R)
  • Body weight (optional)
  • Technique (conventional/sumo)

How to Use

  1. Enter W and R
  2. Select formula
  3. Calculate 1RM and training max (90%)

Advanced 220 kg
Elite 260 kg

Programming Tips

  • Use 1RM to set % intensity
  • Progressive overload and deloads
  • Accessory lifts: RDL, rows, hamstring work

FAQs

Which formula is best?

Epley works well for 3–10 reps; Brzycki for 1–10; compare averages.

Sumo vs conventional?

Choose based on leverages; similar 1RM potential.

Conclusion

The deadlift max calculator enables precise load prescription and progress tracking.
