Bench Max to Bench Rep ratio. Everyone knows about the NFL bench

I've done 314 paused in competition, wasn't maximal though. Best amrap has been 225 2x17 TNG, which I did after a week of not benching because I had elbow bursitis, but I cut the first set short. Probably could have done 18 or 19, but I wanted to record it, hence the second set.

145kg would be lucky to get 5 on 100kg, I can't do reps well at all.

My max is 75kg bitch

>>42517591
2pl8s was my latest max.

Nice, I'm sure I can put up 315 or around it with my bench, I don't use a spotter so there's that mental aspect, but sound similar to me, but you got hurt.

>>42517662
Hmm, so you push 145kg but have trouble getting 5 at 45kg less?

>>42517720
you'll get there m8

Bench had nothing to do with my injury desu, I got injured because ohp and Hepburn progression put too much stress on my elbows. I'm doing a modified hepburn with bench and slingshot bench and I have no problems, elbows feel completely fine. My bench is super chest and shoulders dominant, when I put a lot of stress on my triceps bad things end up happening.

>>42517821
Not that simple dude, especially when it comes to anything over 10 reps, but it's most accurate with 3 or less.

>>42517591
goddamn she hella cute shame about all the rest
tits probably fake af

I'm not trying to determine max weight based on what you bench, I'm trying to understand more of the correlation between your max rep compared to endurance using the NFL test of 225 as an example.

Also I can't fucking bench 344 this thing is fucking stupid.

>>42517843
Oh yeah, I got injuries off the wazzo as well, was just mentioning due to your elbow you likely saw a minor drawback, which was evident based on your guess you can get a couple more reps.

>>42517861
probably

>>42517797
Yes, I just really suck at endurance, with all lifts. Any amount of reps above like 6 become grinders regardless of weight. Supposedly has something to do with muscle fiber composition or something.

>>42517881
Yeah, maybe when I finish hepburn A in a couple months, before switching to B, I'll taper to find my maxes and then do another bench amrap a couple days later.

>>42517885
That just sounds like your conditioning is garbage dude, it's unlikely your muscle composition is that far deviated from 50/50 type 1/type 2 fibers.

>>42517591
275 max
225 for 8 reps

>>42517916
It's not a conditioning problem, I have no problem doing a ton of sets =<80% with 90 second rest. I mean I was really slowly progressing when I was doing programs with sets of 5 as well and didn't really start progressing properly until I was doing lower rep but more sets.

>>42517881
>is fucking stupid
it's way more scientific than the "NFL test" and it *will* give you an answer from which you can work on. Calling the Baechle formula "stupid" is stupid. Sure not all compound exercises perform the same/have the same ratio, you can read about in in the NSCA manual. These formulas are adopted by NSCA and by PTs worldwide. It's the best to-go starting point to estimate RMs. "Endurance" (+15 reps) can't be directly related, I dare you to find an explicit formula in academic literature for this purpose. You'll find a "range" at best and that's it. Hopefully you're not thinking that your "resistance" can deviate that much from "strength", since >>42517916
>it's unlikely your muscle composition is that far deviated from 50/50 type 1/type 2 fibers.

>>42517843
>anything over 10 reps
true, still pretty accurate up to 15 reps. estimating 1RM starting from +15 reps and viceversa is pretty moot.

I can see that, nice

>>42517935
Your body may be more determined to do better strength than endurance, but yours is unusually whacky, I would try to implement more endurance type training if you wanna improve that but fuck it, you're choice. It may be difficult but we gotta play the hands we were given and your genetics said fuck endurance.

>>42518047
I never said the NFL test was scientifc whatsoever, my question had nothing to do with determining ones max rep which you tried to provide.

Literally just asked, hey guys, you bench X, how many can you get with 225? Just looking to feel out where other anons are, this isn't scientific whatsoever. I know your strength won't determine your endurance.

>>42518056
Fuck it, it doesn't bother me that much and I'm happy with having a good jump etc. rather than having the highest endurance.

Only thing annoying is that I'm also really bad at grinding, I either get the lift fast or I don't get it at all, no middle ground.
