I can get 225 for 30. I hit the gym for 3-4 hours a week. I'm just naturally strong.....I'd rather be naturally sexy.
ETA: I've gotten fatter too. Just being honest.

yea i just wanted to get to point where my first set after warm-ups was 225X10. Guess my next goal is 315 1RM. Probably shouldn't even try but 3 plates is big boy weights
I'm going to try a 7 week Sheiko routine for bench soon.
I know guys in the 60s who have added 20lbs to their max who did a 7 week routine.

I'm 6'3" too, with a wingspan thats a tad bigger than 6'5". Made me a great swimmer, poor at bench.
Still can get into the 360 range regularly.
You're 6'3" and benching 360 lbs?

Your ROM is probably short with all of the weight you've gained.

I don't even belong in conversation with you two. don't eat me

Charles would crush me in lifting. I have bad shoulders from swimming.

Because some still use maxing as a way to gauge improvements.
I've benched 225x16 which correlates to a calculated 1RM of 345. However, my actual max is 285.
If I wanted to increase max strength, I would have to adjust my training to target more explosiveness.

Interesting fact: 90% of the population can't bench 200+lbs.

exactly, I got up to the high weights by doing about 6 months of nothing more than about 6-7 reps below 315, then 5 or less over that weight.
it's all about the results you want and the program you use.

I was a freaking long distance runner. Do have great genetics though. Actually have a nationally ranked powerlifting cousin and a two past bodybuilding uncles and one all-american runningback

So because "some still use maxing" you just assume anyone asking that question does not lift?
Posted on 2/24/15 at 12:01 pm to AubieALUMdvm
Sure, because you didn't know why.
The question now is: how much are you lifting these days around your veterinary schedule?

Are these things accurate? I plugged in some numbers trying to figure my 1RM for a new program and the numbers seem awful high. I put in 215lbs for 5 reps and gives me 245lb as a 1RM. I highly doubt I could really get 245 up.
I get the feeling this is a subtle brag thread, but this isn't a large amount... so, IDK....

I'm not a gym guy and I could throw up 215 5 times. You need to evaluate what you're doing in your 5-6 hours a week as opposed to finding out what your theoretical max is.
I knew this would turn into a pissing contest. I don't give two farts about when anyone else lifts...we all different goals and different body types and different backgrounds in lifting. I got back in the gym after basically not lifting at all the previous year starting Jan 5 so I was starting back at basics.
My goals are to gain some more strength and power while slowly losing some fat. I'm doing cardio/core work on non-lifting days. I have been doing a sort of 5x5 program just not doing the squats 3 days a week--just one day instead.
i'm about to switch to a version of Wendlers 5-3-1 and needed to compute my 1RM for each of the core lifts...
I'm 40 years old and don't give a shite about being johnny bad arse in the gym...I did that back in my 20s

why do people care about maxing out
I don't care...you'll never see me trying to lift an actual 1RM. I needed the number so I can plug it in and figure how much I should be lifting in each workout in Wendler's program. each set is prescribed based on a percentage of 1RM...you have to know that number to figure the other numbers
