Barbell row one-rep max calculator

155 lb for 8 reps is an estimated 192.4 lb barbell row max. Enter your own set below.

The barbell row has no standard form, which makes a one-rep max hard to define. Estimate it only if you row the same way every time, and treat the number as your own reference.

Getting an accurate barbell row estimate

Pick one style, from the floor or from hang, and keep it.
Count only reps where the bar touches your torso at the same spot.
Because body English creeps in, estimates from heavy singles are less reliable than from sets of 5 to 8.
Track the estimate over time rather than comparing it to someone else's.

Questions

Can I calculate a one-rep max for barbell rows?

Yes. Enter the weight and reps from a strict set. The estimate is only meaningful if you row the same way each time.

What is a good set to estimate a barbell row max from?

A hard set of 2 to 6 reps with the same form on every rep. For example, 155 lb for 8 reps gives an estimated barbell row one-rep max of 192.4 lb.

Lift does this maths for you

Lift is a strength log for iPhone. It fills in every set with the weight and reps that beat last time, works out your warm-ups, and tracks your estimated one-rep max for every lift. It is coming soon to the App Store.
