jocktheglide

does high repping at a certain weight correlate to a max? For example this site saids that if you do 225 for 15 your max rep is 332 so does that mean if you do 30 reps at 225 you have a 664? Then so on? I did 225 for 9 at a bodyweight of 175lbs (gained 5lbs though recently so 180lbs) and the chart was pretty consisent with my repping I did 295lbs. Just wondering what you guys think about high repping correlating with 1 rep max. Oh, here is the website: http://www.joeskopec.com/repmax.html

I doubt if it does Jock but its an interesting hypothesis.

That's pretty much it at the moment. Mind you I did a set of 8 today on the blocks pulls. Only the one, then I needed oxygen.

About as much as a 40yard dash correlates to an 800m run.

I mean if your doing 180kgx30 then you 1RM is gona be good, but that's about all you can infer really.

At the end of the day why do you need a chart when you can easly got out and find you max!

I currently do 17 reps. Got friends you beat the hell out of me on it. I think the record for the NFL combine is over 40 reps. No bouncing etc allowed.

Most good pressers will get around the same with 100kg as 90kg or 110kg as their strength wont really be a major factor in their fatigue. Who gives a **** how many reps you can do anyways? Its 1RM's that count ;)

I'm off from uni at the minute so have no training partner but will get a video up asap! Won't be anything out of the ordinary though i imagine! Never went beyond 8-10 for reps but can manage 100kg no probs at all.

And on the topic of nfl combine, some of the videos ive seen of the 220lb bench press are def of the bouncing variety. Just my opinion.

what he said^^
and no, it's not because I'm sh1t at repping (which I am)
honest

for the record, I think my best effort was 11 or 12, though that was a while ago.

RE: MT 220lb bench press competition! 19 January 2009 01:48 (permalink)

I tried this once last year cos a guy i know said if i could rep 100kg for 15 then i'd get one with 3 plates...

So i diligently went in every week and after a few months got 15 reps with 2 plates...next week i put the 3 plates on and couldn't get a rep lol..

Damn i was frustrated!!! i think a lot depends on ur form and i was clearly bouncing the bar off my chest so not really training the muscle properly.
