How to perform the romanian deadlift
- Stand with the bar close to your legs and brace before you lift.
- Push the floor away and keep the bar close as your hips and chest rise together.
- Lock out tall, then return the bar under control by hinging at the hips.
Muscles worked
Main focus: Hamstrings and glutes
Also involved: Back and grip
Form tip
Push your hips back with soft knees and a close bar path.
Common mistake
Turning it into a deep squat or rounding to reach the floor.
Safety and setup
Lower only as far as you can maintain the hinge.
Hinge at the hips while keeping a slight knee bend.
Record the same equipment, setup and range of motion when comparing your estimated maximum over time.
This calculator uses the total external load you enter. For dumbbell exercises, use the weight per dumbbell and be consistent when comparing workouts. For machine exercises, keep the same machine and setup, because stacks and leverage differ.

UNDERSTAND YOUR RESULT
What is a one-rep max?
Your one-repetition maximum (1RM) is the greatest weight you can lift once with proper form for a particular exercise. You can estimate it without attempting a heavy single: enter the weight and reps from a challenging set.
Our default estimate uses the Epley formula. We also show the Brzycki estimate so you can see that there isn't one exact formula for every lifter. The estimates become less dependable as repetitions rise, especially if the set wasn't close to your actual limit.
How accurate is a 1RM calculator?
It's a useful starting point for planning, not a guarantee of what you can lift. Rep technique, training experience, fatigue, equipment, and proximity to failure all matter. Use a recent, consistent set, ideally around 3–6 hard repetitions, and never treat the result as a reason to attempt an unsafe maximum.
