Why 225 lbs?
225 lbs — two 45 lb plates per side on a 45 lb bar — is the benchmark used at the NFL Scouting Combine. This calculator estimates your rep count at 225 from any set by first working out your one rep max and then predicting reps at 225. As a rough guide, each rep of 225 corresponds to roughly 5 lb on your 1RM.
Questions
225 FAQ
How many reps at 225 is considered good?
One rep is significant and beyond most gym-goers. Around 5 reps shows solid strength, and 10+ is advanced. NFL linemen often hit 25–35.
What 1RM do I need to bench 225 for 10 reps?
Roughly a 300–315 lb max, since 225 would then be about 72–75% of your 1RM.
Is a 225 bench a lot?
Yes. Only a small percentage of adult men can bench 225 even once. It's a respected intermediate milestone.
