If I can hit 185 OHP for 10 reps, can I get 225 for 1?

[Pajeetmane]

What do you think?

[mkpat]

That would make one of us for both feats.

[DrewDarden]

What do you think?

Yes, based on most common calculators. I prefer Jim Wendler's 531 calculator.

weight (x) * number of reps * .0333 = Y

Y + X = 1RM

185x10 turns out to be 245.

It's not 100% accurate because nothing is 100% accurate besides attempting the 1RM. Everyone is a little different in their ability to perform reps vs lower rep sets.

Personally my 1RM routinely outperforms calculators while some others underperform.

But back in the day, I did 235 when my strict OHP was about 185x5 I believe.

Give yourself 10 pounds for the first rep and then 5 for each additional. It's always been accurate for me on most compounds.

185+10+5+5+5+5+5+5+5 = 230 for a single

When I could do 205x8 on OHP--I could do 245x1. Probably could have got the 250 per the calculation, but was satisfied with the 245.

I would be shocked if you even lifted

[SaviorSelfJT]

IMO probably not, but go for it anyway

OHP is one of those lifts that doesn’t really work well for traditional 1RM calculators

Cause the first rep is done from a dead stop, but the other reps get a lot of stretch reflex. Your 1RM won’t have any stretch reflex

[Lefticle]

Try. Then fail cuz you weak like small girl.

Gonna need to see a video

No.
The fact that you can't give a higher weight/lower rep number suggests you've never conditioned your body to 205+ lbs so it's unlikely. Also, OHP doesn't work well with calculators in my opinion. What's your squat like, that's a huge factor too (yes, even in a strict press).

A short peak to hit that would probably be easy though. 5 or so weeks increasing weight and lowering reps.

Same formula I use. Been pretty damn accurate in my case.

The same could be said for the bench as well

I agree. Deadlift is the same way.

How so? You start bench from the top, but start OHP from the bottom

[Techriding101]

but you don't lift so it doesn't matter, because no one is repping 185 overhead press for 10 without having an idea of what they can hit for a triple or double

I was mainly referring to how the subsequent reps will get a stretch reflex.

But even on bench, my paused 1rm matched up with calculators.
