What if you completed 120 lb for more than one rep?
A single is only one way to perform this weight. More completed reps raise the estimated one-rep max Endura scores, which can change the answer for your bodyweight. The examples below use the same model as the calculator; enter any whole-number rep count from 1 through 10 above for your exact result.
| Completed set | Estimated 1RM | Good for men at | Good for women at |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 lb × 1 | 120 lb | Not at the bodyweights shown | Not at the bodyweights shown |
| 120 lb × 5 | 135 lb | Not at the bodyweights shown | Not at the bodyweights shown |
| 120 lb × 10 | 160 lb | Not at the bodyweights shown | Not at the bodyweights shown |
The men’s and women’s columns show the bodyweight ranges where each example reaches Intermediate or higher. If your bodyweight falls between rows, use the calculator result rather than rounding from the table.
