Hip Thrust 1RM calculator

Turn a hip thrust set you have already completed into an estimated one-rep max and working weights.

Enter a set where you reached full hip extension with a brief pause at the top. Hip thrusts are rarely tested as a single rep, so use the table to pick working weights for sets of 8 to 12.

Uses the Epley equation, counting reps in reserve as reps you could have done — the same load model the Bodywise Coach app uses. It is only an estimate from a set you have already completed, not a test of your maximum; a dash means the combination is outside the range the equation is reliable over. Round to the nearest weight your equipment allows.
