I still havent figured out the best number of sets and reps to do before maxing. I have my football lifting comp soon and i know everyone is different, but what do you guys do before mqxing out
thanks for all the reply guys, im going to try one today than have a few budds try the others and get their opionon. rodja, ima going to do yours because i have set weight i want anf roblasane i normally dont do reps of ten but last week i did 225 for 8You would want to do as little as possible so you wouldn't fatigue. If you PM what weight you use for say 10 reps I can approximate . Than you try that weight if you can bench it than wait 3 mins add 5 pounds and try again . That should get you there.
Try 280 for 1 rep. If you get it add 2.5 to each side rest at least 3 mins and try 285.thanks for all the reply guys, im going to try one today than have a few budds try the others and get their opionon. rodja, ima going to do yours because i have set weight i want anf roblasane i normally dont do reps of ten but last week i did 225 for 8
Good fukin job popie chewlow!i worked my way up to 280 got it with decent effort so i put on 2.5 and got 285. I was debating trying 290 and the pro side of the arguement won. I got 290, it took every inch of power i had but i moved it
This is very similar to what I used for the bench press and squat 1 RM testing I did for my dissertation.Credit for this goes to Jim Wendler:
1x5 @ 50%
1x3 @ 60%
1x2 @ 70%
1x1 @ 80%
1x1 @ 90%
1x1 @ 95%
1x1 @ 100% or new PR.
Nice job man! How old are you?i worked my way up to 280 got it with decent effort so i put on 2.5 and got 285. I was debating trying 290 and the pro side of the arguement won. I got 290, it took every inch of power i had but i moved it
I knew you'd be with similar thinking to me on this topic. Far too many do too many reps and/or sets before getting to their 1RM.This is very similar to what I used for the bench press and squat 1 RM testing I did for my dissertation.
It went something along these lines:
3 x 3-4 @ 50, 60, 70% with 3 min rest
3 x 1 @ 80, 85, 90%
Singles at 95% and moving toward 1 RM.

I'm sure there isn't a wrong way. Jus gotta play it by ear find out why worksgood info here... I have been 'doing it wrong' to find my 1rm...
thanks!
im 17 budNice job man! How old are you?
Congrats, that's a big pull. I'm still struggling to get back over 500 (I hit 500 x 3 about 5 years ago before I got obsessed with running).I knew you'd be with similar thinking to me on this topic. Far too many do too many reps and/or sets before getting to their 1RM.
Here's what I did yesterday on deads (PR was 565)
135x3
135x3
225x3
225x3
315x1
405x1
455x1
495x1
545x1
575x1
Another thing that I should have mentioned is to treat every single set with the same effort and, if it didn't feel right, then take the weight again. I apply the same force to the bar at 225 that I did at 575 and treat it with the same intensity.
I have T-shirts older than thatim 17 bud
