    Well 2 weeks ago I Hit my BW (185) for 10 reps and today I hit 280lb for one rep. So thats 1.513 x BW. On my way back to my PR of 300lbs, I am however 50lbs lighter now then when I hit 300lbs years ago.

    Tested max in team training today. Hit 72.5kg touch and go. Slowly closing the gap to body weight, 9.5kg left to go.

    Great work!

    still a little to go to hit 1.5 on bench.... now squat and deadlift.. thats another story. both are over 2.0x+

    Does get much harder at your size for sure.

    Based on what you said above your true 1RM is probably about 315 depending on how you feel the day you test it. Let us know how you do!

    I would agree that 315 should be doable for your 1RM, maybe a little more. However, you might have trouble hitting it if you aren't used to doing low reps near 300lbs since high and low reps tax the body in somewhat different ways.

    looks like you could hit 250 for 10, So yeah 315 would be doable....

    250x10 is impressive. I suspect he could get more than 315.
