It's true what Markos says. I had benched 6x 80kg, then I went for a 1RM, it should have been something like 93kg - but in fact was 82.5kg. A measely 2.5 extra kgs knocked it from 6 reps to 1.
Then today, the most I'd tried on bent-over row was 5x 60kg, today I did 5x 70kg easily and forced out 5x 80kg.
I don't know, though - maybe such guidelines hold for 99% of lifters.
It doesn't interest me much, what I can do for just one rep, I'm more interested in what I can do for several reps, that has more effect on my day-to-day workouts.
Sounds like a good system to me Fadi, I doubt I'll ever bother doing 1RM anymore than once, I'm more keen on what I can rep. Good numbers there too NPR, That's a very decent bench press there.
You yourself have said now that you benched 80kg x6 then went for a 1RM. I'm very surprised Markos hasn't spotted that one to be honest with you Kyle.
