a 130kg squat for 10 puts your 1RM around 170 by calculator and these often estimate very high.
I never answered Oni because like you said in your post above, I'm not interested in getting into a pissing competition.
But for instance, to give you an idea, I don't do flat bench, I do 22.5 degree incline bench of which I did 90kgx7 in my last chest workout.
I don't do a powerlifting style squat, I do fairly narrow stance high bar squat, my last leg workout was 130kgx10
But the reason I lift and why you lift is poles apart and the way I lift and the way you lift is also poles apart, so any numbers would be meaningless and I don't do 1 rep maxes.
Says who? The calculator is often very accurate for me, and sometimes under estimates for squats...I'm guessing everyone is different
thanks man,
I never do direct arm work, I find it to be a waste, but thats just me...
as I said earlier, ill just do some shoulder presses some lat work, some dips, and some chins..
have you done 3x3? my only worry is once the 8 weeks are calculated, on paper it looks a bit too easy, though I understand the overall KG's moved for the week is more
my wilks total is more than yours
They work well for converting 2-5RM to 1RM but above that they are fairly inaccurate because bodybuilders will be better at repping and powerlifters will not. The studies on repping in relation to 1RM were also done on untrained people!
I've found personally 1RM conversations aren't even remotely accurate, even at lowish rep ranges.
E.g for Bench I did 100 x 3 then missed 105 the next week - all touch n go. And inversely, recently for Olympic squat 135 was a very fast easy single, yet for 120 x 3 the 3rd rep was a bit of a grind.
Different body types/muscle fibre composition etc. For example I'm quite fast/explosive at athletic activity but almost comically weak at static/'brute' strength.
IMO some bber's good at repping moderate weights love using calculators for e-penis comparisons, but really they would get stapled at even 90% of that figure. Tate and Wendler both have both written about this via their personal stories, it has to be true.
Other option I toyed with is running squats and deads 3xweek and bench and military 2xweek, which I'll probably do afterwards anyway, but was just hoping to boost my lifts, especially my squat... I won't compete till late next year, so peaking isn't really an issue I don't think yet
