Do you think this BB 1RM calculators are accurate?

I think they are very inaccurate. because I entered my bench press max (225 for 12 reps ) and it said my 1rm is ~325lbs lol. I doubt I could even get it of the chest lol.
I'm asking this because I never do squat 1RM and I always squat 310 for reps and then enter it in the calculator. So i'm concerned my stats could be fake.

not really.. i have/had high endurance for my chest. i could do 225 x 18 and the calculators said i should have like a 360 max when i could barely do 330

I wouldn't listen to calculators... I've lifted more than I was estimated before.

someone told me that it gets less accurate as you increase reps.

for example.

if you estimated 225 for 2 reps then it would be more accurate to your 1 rep max than saying 160 for 12 reps.

i do believe in this too

so how much could I expect on my bench press If I can bench 225x12?

try a heavier weight and see how many reps you can do that for.

do a weight u can do for 4-8 reps will be more accurate

hard to tell. for example. Im strong in the 5 rep range, but my strength dips quite a bit when I train in the 10 rep range since I dont train that light very often

the more reps you do the harder it is to predict

I think its different for everyone because of differencing endurance levels. Try using lower reps when you calculate it

[squat4speed]

i can lift more than what the calculator estimates

i managed 315x1 a couple of weeks after hitting 225x13. just depends on the person.

as for the calculator - again, just depends on the person. for some it is very accurate...but not so much for others.
