    230 8rm

    whats up guys last week when I hit chest I 8 repped 230 and my coach told me that I should be able to max 290 because he said you take 2 reps off and add the other six to you 8rm. does this sound accurate? The reason I haven't tried it is because I want to make sure my tendon is fully repaired before I try to max.
    (pause) Bench: 270 goal(300)
    Overhead press: 215 goal(250)
    Curl: 105 goal(140) (flat bar)
    Deadlift 315 goal(425)
    Squat:275 goal:(385)
    Leg press: 800x6 goal:(1200x6)
