    Put up 225 for 5 on bench today. The last two reps were bloody ugly, but I got the lockout.

    Revised total:

    1,035.

    I have a feeling I'm right around my bench max. It can't be too much further from where I'm at now.

    No 3 plates quest?

    Lol. I just got 2 plates. It would be great if Santa brought my *kitten* a 3 plate bench though.

    225 for 5 is pretty imprssive- I bet you'r pushing 250 for 1 rmp. I can rep out like 145/150 or so- right around 160 I start to struggle with reps- and my max is 185.

    so I bet you can put on 245-250 and get it done.

    My glass of bourbon tells me that it's ok to write my uncensored response.

    Instead I shall say, "That would be very cool."

    250# would be bananas.

    Thanks :smile:

    I was happy to make the 2.5x bw squat and 3x bw DL as I weighed in at 80kg that comp.

    The thing I notice with those calculators is it just does not work so well. The day I bench 185x10 I would try 225 and fail all the time. It also happen for my friend so we just throw away that and started doing max for real.

    good work man.
    225 is the magic number, once i could use that weight for 3 sets of 12 cold i started pushing heavier after my injury.... now sets of 12, 12, 20+ happen easily

    The closer you get to a 1RM the closer the calculators are. 5 reps is the highest I'll go when trying to estimate. 3 reps gives a better estimation, but there's no replacing the true 1 rep max. I just recently tested all mine in the last 2 weeks for the first time ever and found the calculators to be a good starting point, but definitely not "true"

    Calc => Actual
    Squat 325 => 365
    Bench 214 => 235
    DL 375 => 385

    Squat - 280
    Deadlift - 365
    Bench - 305

    Almost there. Been doing Wendler 5/3/1 for about a month. Squats are super weak. One day at a time.

    Great Job! I've heard a lot of good stuff about 5/3/1.

    The grip question on deadlifts intrigued me so I tried it out today.

    I was able to work up to 345 with double overhand, but couldn't hold 395. My all time PR is 440 but most recently was 425.

    cedwardscadd, lookin4gains. Guys, both amazing numbers.

    I'm hoping for the 225 for reps mark, then I hope to pound the hell out of that and test the defenses gravity has established around a three plate bench.

    My Callus also suck. They burn trying to squeeze that bar.

    This callus remover rocks.

    Although, I've gotten *kitten* over it looking similar to an eye lash curler. Then you can bust out, DYELB.
