Anyone know why my bench press max was lower than my projected one rep max? I hit a 75kg for a 3x10 a week before I maxed on my bench and I only got 90kg. All 1rm calculators said if I can hit 75kg for 10 then I can hit 100kg for 1 and so I should have been able to hit at least 100kg for 1 considering I hit 75kg for a 3x10 on the bench a week earlier yet I could only hit 90kg, which is 10kg less!!! Wtf happened?!! Why did this hapoen??!! Thats 10kg less, not 1 or 2kg but 10kg less!!!

You have to actually practice heavy singles anon
Strength is a skill and you need to git gud
why are you doing 3*10 in the first place if your goal is for strength training?
Because anyone with a brain knows you have to train for both strength and hypertrophy, both go hand in hand, read a book tard.
is that why you can't even hit LMAO2pl8 lol.
I'm already close to hitting 3 by the end of the year doing heavy weight low reps
Yeah three 5 pound plates on each side yeah good for you twink.
holy shit youre mad
Thats the stupidest thing i have heard all year
always great when moron dyels expose themselves
Rep calculators are not oracles. They're based on averages and are less accurate the farther from 1 rep you go.
I can do 72,5kg for 20x (probably more, just a warm up) but can only do 100kg for 3-4x. Dont know what kind of weird calculator you are using my man but no way in hell you are able to do 100.
>why waz da formula rong?!
the calculator isn't a fundamental physical truth about the universe anon
Rep calculators suck. Interestingly they always are short on mine, my 1rm is always like 10 lbs more
the more reps you put in the calculator the bigger the margin of error
your 3-5 rep max would give a more accurate number
Just tested both, still about 10lbs under my maxes
might be that your nervous system isn't adapted to pushing heavier weights
I'm sure if you increase weight every workout from now on and even if you hit less reps you'll eventually build up and hit 100kg
No I mean, the calc predicts a 1 rm 10 lbs under my actual 1 rm, which is opposite of op
I see
my bad thought you were op
I am overpowered
yes
the calculator underestimates you
The point was that the calculators are off and you can't go by them they're just general ballpark
I'm never op
Not me idk what that means
it was just a joke sometimes outside of IST op means overpowered
Haha I'm an idiot
Time for bed lost my IST rhythm
You have to train heavy singles to get a high one rep max
Like everyone has already said, you aren't used to training in the lower reps. Acclimate yourself to it for a few weeks and you'll feel more comfortable going "heavy"
I max out every week on a different lift, its part of my program its called the conjugate method. I'm very used to maxing out.
1rm is not moronic you are though.
>1rm is not moronic you are though.
t.
Imagine thinking you have to be fat to max out. You are truly one dumb frick. Kek
training 1rm is moronic just do pure hypertrophy
>doesn't train to lift heavy
>wtf bros why can't I lift as heavy as I should
Based moron
Do you know what the conjugate method is or are you moronic?
No 10 reps is the limit, I read a study on this topic so I should be hitting at least 100kg.
>Do you know what the conjugate method is or are you moronic?
You are hit maxes in the conjugate method
1RM calculators are shit if you're using 10 rep sets in the formula. A 5RM is pretty much the upper limit for getting a realistic estimate for a 1RM.
Based moron thinking he can hit stuff that his nervous system haven’t even touched before just because of a website calculator.
