Weighted Pull-Up 1RM Calculator

Calculate your weighted pull-up 1RM including bodyweight. Essential for tracking pulling strength and predicting skill readiness.

Calculate Your 1RM

Most accurate with 1-10 reps

Uses the Epley formula: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30). Most accurate with 1-10 rep sets.

Weighted Pull-Up Strength Standards

General benchmarks for weighted pull-up strength levels.

Beginner
+0-20% BW
Intermediate
+20-50% BW
Advanced
+50-80% BW
Elite
+80%+ BW

How the Epley Formula Works

The Epley formula is one of the most widely used methods for estimating one-rep max from submaximal lifts. It's particularly accurate for sets of 1-10 reps and is used by strength coaches worldwide.

1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30)

For weighted pull-up, your total system load is your bodyweight plus any added weight. This is what your muscles actually have to move, making it the relevant number for 1RM calculations.

Why Track Your Weighted Pull-Up 1RM?

Objective Progress Tracking

Your 1RM gives you a concrete number to track over weeks and months.

Program With Precision

Use percentage-based programming to hit the right intensity for your goals.

Predict Skill Readiness

Weighted pull-up strength correlates with front lever and muscle-up potential.

Relative Strength Benchmark

Compare your strength relative to bodyweight for meaningful progress tracking.
