Selecting attempts for an upcoming powerlifting meet is one of the most important parts of meet preparation. Luckily, this calculator hosted on Google Sheets makes attempt selection a breeze. You can then print out the sheet or keep it on your phone for meet day.
Simply plug in the 1RM for your squat, bench, and deadlift and the spreadsheet will automatically calculate conservative, moderate, and aggressive attempts for each lift. It even will calculate your warm up lifts on a separate sheet if you’d like.
Once you’re done, print out your calculated attempts to bring on meet day or access it from the Google Drive app on your phone.
