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 | Not at the bodyweights shown | 100–180 lb |
| 300 lb × 5 | 337 lb | 120 lb | 100–210 lb |
| 300 lb × 10 | 400 lb | 120–160 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.

Your 300 lb Barbell Deadlift Answer
At the top of the results card, you will see a direct answer that includes the weight and completed reps you entered. Yes means Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite. Not quite means Novice; Not yet means Beginner.
Your Strength Tier
Your Strength Tier is Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, or Elite. Intermediate is a good, solid strength result. Advanced indicates greater strength, and Elite is the highest Endura tier.
Your Result Details
The result card repeats the 300 lb set, completed reps, and estimated one-rep max. Check those details before relying on the result. For example, a 190 lb man who completes 300 lb for one rep ranks in Endura’s Beginner tier. More completed reps at the same weight produce a higher estimated one-rep max.
Your Input Check
The You entered line lists the exercise, weight, completed reps, and estimated one-rep max used for the calculation. The result-context line confirms the sex, age, and bodyweight used to assess that set.
Your Strength Snapshot
The Your Strength Snapshot card gives you a record to compare with a later result from the same exercise.
