Yup

187? But no i dont think so, i can do 185 for 5 reps and only get 210, and people in My weights class are hitting 195 for 5 and cant do 225. But iwould go for it anyways cause you never know.

That site overestimates 1RM in my experience, I think http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html is more accurate

[jcha94]

you probably can

Said I could get 225 for 1 rep, I couldn't even get 218.

Not really any harm in trying though. Everyone is different.

You'll never lift 225 until you try to lift 225.

I got 225 yesterday and the week prior I did 195 for 5. So 220 is looking more realistic for you. But at the end of the day only you know your true strength brah. Good luck!

nice one man fawk, I hope ill get it haha, I think ill load up on carbs and caffeine, blast some metal and scream light weight baby, thoughts ?

[TheBeastTyler]

Yeah the first calculator that was linked in this thread overestimates my max a bit as well. OP, I don't think you're quite there yet. I'd say 8 or 9 reps at that weight would probably set you at 225 1rm though, so keep it up and you'll be there in no time.

yeah that seems more realistic tbh haha thanks brah repped, ive been adding alot of rest pausing into sets so my strength is going up good, hopefully ill get there next month

[abidz]

Post however much you get on the day

[PatchRobinson]

Post however much you get on the day

will do brah, ill get back to you all with the result !! btw after I test the max can i do some sets on bench after it or just move on ?

[mattias9410]

instead of asking try it and yes you could probably do it as I do 187x8 and 1RM atm is 240

[crimpz]

187??? so thats 1 plate 1 quarter and 1.5... why not just add the 2.5 and train with 190? it just doesnt make sense to me but i'd say no. I think you can hit 217 for one rep. try it

I think he converted kg to lbs in kg that's 85kg

I usually work up to 8 reps and then increase im at 6 atm brah

[crimpz]

if thats the case, then my bad OP. I don't pay attention to kg.

[PatchRobinson]

he right there i work in kg

it's not gonnab be perfect lol. It was like 5lbs off for me. still farily accurate

[Tb0282]

i had a 210lbs max when I was benching 165 for 8, so I don't see why you can't get 225 with 187 x 6

[thecpthree]

currently benching 187x6

Maybe, I got 225 when I could do like 185x6..
Now I'm at 195x6/185x9 so idk what my 1rm is

[Schmeckie]

Most likely you'll get it.
