Discussion Gymcels post your 1rm's

[KingOfRome]

I've been compelled to ask you guys by the thread made by @Colvin76 to see how you guys compare.

As I don't normally do barbell movements due to my own lack of a barbell and a power rack, I'll have to do some number crunching to give estimates based on movements I do normally use.

My estimated 1rm on the weighted dip is about 310 lbs. As any 1rm on the weighted dip is generally 1.2-1.25x that of the flat bench, that would put my 1rm on the flat bench at approximately 260 lbs.

My estimated 1rm on the weighted pull-up is approximately 230 lbs.

As my only real strength training for legs is the Bulgarian split squat, with good mornings and long distance running playing minor roles, I'll have to defer to the general strength standards for both lifts. I should at least be able to squat 280 lbs for a 1rm based on this extrapolation.

Does this include stuff outside the big 4? (OHP Bench Deadlift Squat). fuck I'll post anyway with dates.

Deadlift - 475 (w/ straps) August
Squat - 365 in May
Bench - 285 in August
OHP - 170 in August

Power clean - 210 in May (ik its poverty. I suck at cleans)
Incline bench 45 degrees - 205 in June (also poverty)

Chin up - +105 added weight (august)
Dip - +155 added weight (august)
Bodyweight ~165

dicked around with 1RM strict bicep curl (mega JFL) and got 105 in august.

These numbers are at or approaching advanced levels, and you've been lifting for less than two years. Absolute genetic marvel.

ITT e-stats galore.


Been lifting for exactly 1 year.

Bench: Lmao (1rm = 100kg I know weak)
Squat: 135kg (5x5)
Deadlift: 220kg
OHP: 60kg (6x3)

Bodyweight: 85kg

Weighted Dips: 110kg (8 reps x 3 sets)
Weighted Pull ups: 90kg (8reps x 2)


Also how tf do you do a 1rm on pull ups/dips.

Your 1rm can be estimated based on sub-1rm lifts. The formula is fairly accurate below 8-10 reps or so.

Those numbers aren't bad for one year. You're disproportionately weak in your pushing movements for some reason.

Help.

No matter what I do my progress on pushing movements can't even be compared to legs/pulling.

With legs, I'll increase my 5x5 weight by 2.5kg (weekly) with no issues.
Pushing on the other hand takes me weeks to see a 2.5kg increase.

What's your program?
