There are charts for this sort of thing...

This has always been very accurate for me, and everyone else I've seen. You should be able to do about 275-280.

You are more then likely very close. With that said, unless you do max rep workouts once in awhile, it will more then likely be lower. I have known lifters that could do 8 reps with 260, yet the first time they try max, it is closer to 285#. But 250x8 should give about a 310# max. It all depends on what your mind and body is acustom to.

here's a lil equation I found on the web: start with your max num of reps at 225, yours is 8, multiply by 6.81 which gives u 54.48, then u add 221.8 then u have 276.28 which is roughly ur 1rm. of course this calculation is said to only be effective for males weighing between 190 and 215... works for me... hope this helps out...

I thought I fell through the Tardis into 2007 and that my boobies had shrunken.
Boobies still intact. It is, in fact, 2014 and I'm another day closer to being a geezer like Oldballs.Gym lifts: 260/130/285
Meet lifts: 245/130/285

You can train for a higher 1RM without increasing endurance in the lower weight ranges. You can also rep out 225 every day and not have a very high 1RM. These are two different types of training and I don't think you guys should really compare them to each other.
Squat: 495
Bench: 355
Dead: 515
Front Squat: 325 6/20/14
