5x5 Equals what 1RM?
Anyone ever seen a table or calculator?

Never seen a calculator including sets performed but I would guess that the lifters 5RM is roughly 10-15 pounds higher than the 5x5 weight so you could use the table once you estimate the 5RM

It's dependent on a lot of things such as the exercise you're doing, time between the sets, whether you've done any heavy singles to begin with, etc. For instance, with front squats a few years ago, whatever I could do for 5x5 with 2 minutes rest I could do 50lbs more for a single. For percents, that ended up being about 83%. That is just one example though and it could be very different for you.

Multiply it by 1.2.So a 225 bench for 5x5 would be a 270 1 rep max.I got this formula from Pavel in this article. Pavel: 80/20 Powerlifting and How to Add 110+ Pounds to Your Lifts

Right now my raw squat 5RM is about 440. My projected squat max from that is around 518. So it appears many calculators are using around 85% of 1RM for a 5RM.
I think my max is around 515 to 520, so it appears at least for me this is spot on. I think if I tried a 5x5 I might have to start around 405 to have a prayer of completing it. Maybe even around 385. I've ran an 8x2 with around 425 (ish).
