Calculating Torque required to self Right

I was wondering how to calculate how much torque is required to self right using a single jointed arm. Right now, I'm just doing weight of the robot (~150) at the end of the lever arm to calculate the torque. In reality, less would be required because you are not lifting the entire robot weight (right?).

Anyone know the exact way to calculate this?
