how many reps of 225 to bench 315

[HockeyBacon18]

i benched 295 last week, but missed 315

today on my max set of 225 i got 12 reps.

What should my goal # of reps with 225 be?

[DemiBrah]

15-17

[Amino89]

I think 275 is a better judge tbh. 5 reps of 275 and you should be there my son. But probably like 15-17

[TommyRO]

Lmao easier to tell with less reps than higher srs, I haven't done 225x12 in over two months and could hit 315+

[phagtastic]

It's not really a direct correlation. Endurance and work capacity can vary a lot between people.

I'd imagine if you can do 15 and not feel winded, you should be able to do it.

vid?

[brahskimoseph]

275x8 and you forsure can hit 315

[shoelaces]

295x8 and you forsure can hit 315

[nm1891]

I get 225x15 and can hit 315.

[DJGirth]

315x1 and you can for sure hit 315 srs

[Supearman]

305x8 and you forsure can hit 315

[GaryRidgway]

315x8 and you forsure can hit 315

It depends, some people have better absolute strength compared to muscle endurance, the closer to the weight you can get to rep out the more accurate it will be.

Spoiler!

For example I did 155x5 the other day, and my calculated 1rm came out to 181. I tried 180 and got it pretty easily (I should have probably gone for 185 after). I've also done 135 for 13 (and 7/8ths lol @ triceps) which would have brought my calculated 1rm to 191. There is no way in **** I would ever be able to bench 191 though, or it would be a very bumpy touch and go to say the least.

[dabbmw2002]

275x6

225x15

for me

[shoelaces]

335x8 and you forsure can hit 315

[brofist]

why are you trying to build a 315 1 rep max by doing 225 for max reps lol wtf

[GymMeathead]

225 for 15-20
275 for 8-12

[nosirrahx]

225 for 15-20

225x15

for me

I think 275 is a better judge tbh. 5 reps of 275 and you should be there my son. But probably like 15-17

15-17

You guys are right where I am guessing.

When my max was 335 I could do 225 for 19 so 15-17 sounds right to me.

[dizzin9]

315x8 and you forsure can hit 405

[RealAesthetic]

350x8 and you forsure can hit 315

[tokelift]

Are you literally doing a 1 rep of max of what you think you should be able to do followed by sets of 225? That's pretty chit tbh, even more so if you're failing the 1 rep maxes.

For an actual answer, I'd say 15-20.

[blindsideflank]

I hit 315 with 12 clean/paused reps at 225
I must have poor endurance though because I think I could hit 335 for a single before I could hit 315 for a double (if I remember correctly). In other worlds my 1 rep max was 315 and 335 although a really easy 315 and 335 was probably touch and go.

[MustardTiger17]

405x5 and you can for sure hit 315

[SicilianPower]

I did 225 x 18 and hit 315 for a single when I was 18.

[wheynweed]

Muscle endurance does not equal strength
Back when I was foolish and naive enough to do Flat barbell press I could hit 405 for reps but couldn't do 225 more than 20X.

[JamesA1990]

225 for 15-20
275 for 8-12

bruh i maxed at 7 reps @ 275 and best bench is 358

[quadfecta]

About 12 clean/easy reps.

[Emck86]

i benched 295 last week, but missed 315

today on my max set of 225 i got 12 reps.

What should my goal # of reps with 225 be?

Probably around 12 reps

you can bench 315 for sure once youve squatted 1400
