If I can bench press 300lbs 6 sets of 2 Does anyone know how to calculate my one rep max? Thanks
Tough call, why don’t you just try to go for a heavy single after a deload week?
Otherwise, try out the following formula: 1RM = weight x (1 + 0.0333 x reps)
You can calculate it yourself: Go into the gym and work up to a 1RM.
Other than that, we would all just be guessing. But I’m guessing 320.
I’ll give ya… 325! How’s that?
I can bench more than that I just used those numbers was hoping someone knew a formula so I wouldn’t have to try a max I’m older and its kind of hard on these old joints but thanks for the input
how much rest between sets? how hard is set 1? how hard is set 3? how hard is set 6? could you do more than 6 sets? is the 6th set pretty much to failure?
I use the bench calculator on muscleandstrength. I have always maxed about 5# more than it says.

ehhh, should be…
(Weight * reps) *.0333 + weight = est 1RM
op, why not work up to a 3 or 5 rm and use the foumula above. It’ll gie you a good ballpark. 3 reps max would give you a more true estimate IMO.
