With this calculator you can calculate your one rep max or calculate how much weight to put on the bar using your one rep max. When calculating a percent of your max, Lifting Calculator not only tells you what that percent is, but also breaks it down into how many of each plate you put on one side of the bar. It also comes with a note section for writing down your maxs or writing your workout for the day.
LiftLevel

LiftLevel is a strength calculator designed to answer two common questions lifters ask: how strong am I, and how much should I lift? By entering the weight and reps you lift, LiftLevel instantly calculates your estimated one-rep max, strength level, and how you compare to others. LiftLevel shows real strength standards for major lifts including bench press, squat, deadlift, and overhead press. Your results are classified into clear strength levels such as beginner, intermediate, advanced, or elite, helping you understand whether your lift is actually good for your bodyweight. In addition to strength levels, LiftLevel provides percentile comparisons so you can see how you rank against other lifters your size. For example, you might see that you are stronger than 62 percent of lifters at your bodyweight. This makes strength comparisons simple and easy to understand at a glance. LiftLevel also answers the question of what weight you should lift today. Based on your estimated max, the app recommends appropriate weights for light training days, working sets, and heavy attempts. This removes guesswork and helps you choose the right weight in the gym. The app is built for fast use between sets, with large readable text and instant results. There are no accounts, no workout tracking, and no training programs. LiftLevel is not a fitness social app or a workout planner. It focuses on one thing: helping you understand your strength and choose the right weight to lift. LiftLevel is ideal for beginners learning strength standards, experienced lifters checking progress, and athletes who want quick answers without complicated features. If you have ever searched for how much should I lift, how strong am I, strength standards, bench press standards, squat standards, deadlift standards, or a one rep max calculator, LiftLevel was built for you. Understand your strength. Lift with confidence.
