Some people have asked me the use of a bench press calculator. This is a very simple fact. You can take the number of bench presses and how many reps and then give you the projected one rep max weight you can handle. This is useful when trying to “maximize” because it gives you an idea of where to start. Without using a good bench press calculator.
When you try to do your repetition with the maximum weight, you must realize that it will be very difficult. Try to attempt this weight only once or twice a week for best results. If you try every day, you probably won’t be able to reach your maximum every time.
With all that said, take this information and the link to the calculator I posted and try it out for yourself. Once you enter your information, you will have a good understanding of how close the estimate is. It’s a basic formula used to determine the maximum weight you “should” be able to lift. As with any calculation of this nature, they will never be perfect. You may have some variance with what the tool tells you and what the actual case is. This is to be expected, but the results will be very similar nonetheless.
For example, there is a free bench press calculator that allows you to calculate all of this very easily. On that page you can calculate your projected one rep max weight in a matter of 2 seconds. Take this information the next time you hit the gym and give it a try.
Hope the tool helps you and have a good workout!
