Hi I'm 16 years old, 5'9.5 185lbs and iv been heavily lifting the last 3-4 months in preparation for football and I had a question about trap bar deadlifts. I go to an athletic performance training facility in my area and I did trap bar deadlifts today, and for the last set my trainer to me to do as many as I can with 315 on. With 315, I did it 17 times. Roughly what would my one rep max be? And in my experiences I can lift a lot more on a trap bar than an Olympic bar, so what would my max translate over to an Olympic bar? Thank you for any help and please don't say just max out because I need to upload my vitals to my hudl tonight and I can't go to the gym right now

There's no way to know what your max would be in either lift and any guess would be too speculative to bother with.
17 reps is just too high to make a reasonable 1RM estimate. Many calculators won't even accept more than 10 reps and even 10 is questionable.
Also, no way to translate a trap bar deadlift to barbell deadlift.You can't help the hopeless.

Don't let the purists talk you out of trap bar deadlifts. 17 x 315 is great. I hope you're turning the handles over so you're going down as far as you would with an Olympic bar.
I don't have a formula for converting trap bar to Olympic bar deadlifts or for converting 17's to 1RM either. But you're a strong kid.
