Default 1RM with a weighted vest?

For leg squats, I use a weighted vest along with my barbell. When I do my 1RM for squats, can I do it with my vest on?

For instance, I use a 35 lb barbell and wear a 20 lb vest. Would I enter 55lb for my 1RM?

Thanks.

I can't think of any reason why you couldn't do it that way...It's still going to calculate the 1RM the same way. I say go for it!
