ROFL!
This is an instant classic "You sound like paris hilton bragging about being a millionaire. "
Chris, you make that up yourself?
So there is no confusion, this is non-sarcastic.

Yes…it is.
It’s math. 1RM=[r/30+1] *W
I don’t need to try to guess what my 1RM is and be short or add too much. Doing with more reps is accurate. I don’t know what weight to try. And I’m not going to be one of these assholes that “squats” 50 pounds more than their real max and call it true. I would rather do more reps with good form than some above parallel garbage(which is something I see on here all the time (JUST DID 450 GUYS…no…you didn’t)
There are a few differences formulas. And I’ll even give a plus minus of 10 pounds to its accuracy just to be fair. But it’s a good way to measure.
For all you know you are one of those ass holes who says they squat 50lbs more then they actually do and even though your online calculator says your gonna hit a 315 deadlift maybe you won’t get 280 off the ground. Using one of those online calculators I should be pulling high 400s, but in reality im in the low 400s and my bench should be about 1.5 what it is. Works especially bad with deadlifts because you can just put the bar down for a few seconds and pull again or you can bounce the bar. You could do the even more accurate version and actually test your 1rm. Just because its a formula doesn’t make it maths, thats just a formula Wendler wrote out that works pretty well for himself, no research behind it or anything. Why don’t you just go try pick up 315lb instead of using a calculator. Worst that that will happen is you won’t pick it up.

I don’t mean people who just claim numbers. I mean people who post videos of their new “max” when it’s bad form.
I think the calculator are fine. The reason I don’t want to throw a weight up there and just do it once, is because the uncertainty behind it. According to the calculator, my 1rm is 318. If I was going to test my max, I wouldn’t just know to rack 318 and try it.
And I wasn’t testing my dead lift, and even if I was I wouldn’t bounce it. I would rather not even work out than do it half assed. No satisfaction in that. I don’t work out for the ego boost. I do it because I want to be legitimately strong and healthy.
But I really don’t care. I just wanted to see what I could do after four weeks of smolov. I made gains and in the end that’s what is important. After I complete the next phase of smolov I’ll probably do it by the calculator. Because it’s a fine way to measure.
I recently hit both of these @ a bodyweight of ~165, 5 ft 7.
The pull felt alot easier than the squat.
For deadlifts, as long as I can get it off the floor, it should go up, but sometimes it just seems like it’s glued to the fucking floor or something.
Good luck everyone, and have a merry christmas(or whatever you do or don’t celebrate)

You’re enthusiasm is commendable, but it is not a good way to measure at all. 1RM calculators can be accurate, but it restricted to the 1-3 rep range. Anything over that, there is a large variance and it is not in your favor.
I benched 275x10 one day, and a 1 RM calculator put me at 350+. I’ve yet to bench over 340 for a single.
Your point about doing making rep gains with good form is an important one, and it does show progress. The question remains, does it translate to 1 RM absolute strength? When there is more weight on the bar, you are not going to be able to use perfect form, especially for 1 RM attempts. Either the weight goes up or it doesn’t.
Don’t think because you hit a certain number for 4+ reps, you have a give me single whenever you feel like making the attempt. More than likely, that single will teach you a little humility after it pins you.

The point of this thread to squat and pull 315. You’re not done until you do those things. It’s great that you’re making progress and getting stronger, but you can’t claim something you haven’t accomplished yet.

=\ I didn’t get one for Christmas
Im in.
here is a video of my box squat PR! preformed a month or two ago.
hit 285 for a single yesterday on deadlifts from a 2" deficit, had some left in the tank, gunna go for 295 for a single next week and then maybe ill rip 315 off the ground!

no, it’s not.
Weights are not formulas. Weights are weights and no rep max calculator is accurate. It is an estimate.
I’ve done this for thirty years and pull in the 600s if you care
If you didn’t pull a weight, you didn’t pull a weight.
go pull or squat 315x1, then you’re done.

I like the idea of actually lifting the weight in order to count.
Finally squatted today after what feels like 3 weeks!
200 x 9
for whatever reason my post didn’t go through correctly two posts above. but if you never have lifted the weight, you didn’t lift the weight. that trumps all math formulas. formulas are an attempt to predict something in this case. There is no better way to predict something than having done it.
Through experience I have found certain rep ranges correspond with certain maxes. But I knew my current max. This allows me to say if I squat x reps with a certain weight, I might max y weight. But I have the current max and the current reps based on my past performance.
Form breaks down at max weights and 100+% is way different than 87.5% or 90%. In case anyone cares, I first competed in powerlifitng thirty years ago and pull in the mid 600s. Not that that matters, it’s the experience with this stuff that maters. If you never deadlifted before and do 315 x 6 the first time you try it and lift nothing heavier, your max is 315. You want to claim more, do more.
