What if you completed 300 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 lb × 1 | 300 lb | 120–150 lb | Every row shown (100–220 lb) |
| 300 lb × 5 | 337 lb | 120–180 lb | Every row shown (100–220 lb) |
| 300 lb × 10 | 400 lb | 120–230 lb | Every row shown (100–220 lb) |
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.
