Stats time!

Update for deadlift- 185kg.

Went for 190 but couldn't....

some tips. chalk, smelling salt and someone to smack your back/face. it will adds 5-10kg more to your deadlift.

 

[weibchen]

will chalk help your grip or reduce the pain?
i realize that above 100 kg you palms start to hurt real bad just to grip..

 

[galapogos]

It helps your grip if you have sweaty palms. It helps the pain when you do a hook grip, and a hook grip is a stronger grip, so it also helps your grip.

All the best with your enlistment. A week before I got conscripted I front squatted 140kg for a 1RM. Now I'll be lucky to get 100kg. lol

Yeah man!!! Got to get the stats up before going in.....

Some more I'm in PESBP (fat eagles). When I come out I will definitely lose a lot of my strength.

Down by the river.....

I should have never doubted your prediction kacie...

I just deadlifted 200kg raw. Used alternate grip though, so gotta work it up with hook.

Was at SSC Tamp (8.30-9.20pm)

But **** man my blister tore so I won't be deadlifting anything until it covers up.

Please do your own 1RM calculation.

 

[X_slinger]

Hi ,

its a long time since I posted here again.

Some stats to update

Bw:68kg

benchpress : 80kg

Deadlift:160 kg ( wanted to do 180 kg but my 1 rm test is too close I guess ... cant get 180 up. )

Squats 125kg

Just some small stats from me .

 

[galapogos]

Holy sh*t that's some serious deadlift increase...I'll update it tomorrow...

The 1RM calculator in BB.com is based on the premise that you have equal % of slow twitch and fast twitch muscles. In other words,out of all the muscles in your body,50% are fast twitch,50% are slow twitch.

According to the 1RM calculator in BB.com,your 5RM is around 86% of your 1RM.

Some people who is slow twitch dominant might have a 5RM which is 90% of their 1RM.
Those who are fast twitch dominant might have a 5RM which is 80% of their 1RM.

I got these ideas from Christian Thibadeau's Black Book of Training Secrets.

So your 1RM might be even higher than what you calculated if you are a fast twitch guy and vice versa.At the end of the day,this is still an estimate.

Anyway,I think its still better you actually perform the 1RM than punching in some numbers on an online calculator.
