Whats your 1 rep max?

[powwerr]

Yes, ok. It may be a bit of a useless question but im curious to see who here is powerfu....nah i aint saying it.

Whos the big daddy and whos up and coming?!

Bench Press - 125kg

25, been training properly for approx 1 year. 16st.

[young_bairn]

Never tried tbh.

Always lift what I can in 3 x 10rep sets. Would doing one mental rep do anything except kill you?

[RemainAllHoof]

Did a human flag once and put my back out. Is this what you meant?

[pugwash4x4]

Incline leg press max was 720kg about 8 years ago- suspect about 2/3 of that now- still have 32" thighs and 24" calfs though so might not be a million miles off.

[powwerr]

Im just curious really.


im sure theres plenty of folk out there that see what they can do in one.


720kg leg press....fook me.

[clonmult]

I've never really tried for the bench, iirc last time I tried was about 90kg ... but as I said, never really trained for that.

And today my max will be next to nothing. Did a very different workout with a colleague on Friday, and my left shoulder is still suffering.

I think (as a smaller bodied but plainly powerfully built PHer) that the question is better addressed by way of reference to your bodyweight.

For example, I could bench about 120% of my bodyweight - many moons ago when I trained (but it didn't half hurt my shoulders).

[Meoricin]

I'm currently working on improving my bench - today is my attempt to do 95kg for the first time, then three weeks away from now I'm trying 100kg.

I weigh 76kg, and up until today my 1RM was 90kg (full rep, touching the chest).

Squat and Deadlift are both 150kg, because that's all the weight I have, and I can't afford to get more at the moment.

ETA: When I lifted in a gym, my leg press was 420kg for 3 reps. Loved quoting that at people, though it's hardly reflected in other lifts or real world strength.

Thats pretty much where i am aswell. and why i put in my weight in my 1st post.

lets think of it as bhp/tonne

[Mr_Good]

Bench - 115kg
Squat - 140kg
Deadlift - 205kg
Bent over row - 110kg

Nothing overly impressive, but steadily working on it!

[powwerr]

I could lay you out in one uppercut?

37yo only 74Kg but can 1RM 110Kg (incl bar) bench press and leg press 190Kg. It's all I've ever benchmarked on. Benchmarking isn't safe and given I tend to be the PT, than the other way around, I don't do it often.

Did set a new pb for 12 rep lat pulldowns and DB bench press. Another topic to follow on that later...

Never 1RM unless you have a spotter and you should have 5 mins rest before attempts for motor-unit reset for the most accurate results.

edit: oops.

See im seeing some impressive deadlifts already (imo) i cant DL for toffee.

dont know what it is. bad form, poor tech, dodgy back. think the most ive ever did for 3 sets was 60kg.

[CHIEF]

I do 130kg bench for 4 reps so not really sure what my one rep max would be, never tried to be honest.

[RemainAllHoof]

How about - I can do one pull up on half the finger tips of each hand.

I mean both hands at the same time. Not one-handed pull ups. Besides, you want to be the opposite of Arnie ie light!

[Mr_Good]

Well I smashed my personal best today, and chuffed to pieces too.

Bench press 125kg x 3 so how ever that works out as a 1 rep max!

[dirty boy]

Wow.

I'm weak.

I did 60kg bench press today (6 reps) that was within a couple of minutes of doing a 6 minute mile on the treadmill though, so was puffing and panting whilst putting the weights on the bar!

Maybe rattle out a 70kg one off? Who knows? Will have a go.
