Deadlift
« on: January 21, 2010, 01:24:13 PM »
I deadlifted 455 x 7 today.

Any thoughts on what that would convert to for a single?

Is there a conversion chart similar to a bench one?

obviously  not Adonis like numbers   ::) ::)

Depends on a lot of factors. Friend of mine does 530lbs for 6, yet has missed 540lbs many times.  :D

       i think bodybuilding.com has a converter section with all the lifts etc. i think you probably could do  low 600's

When estimating 1RMs I always think a safe bet is to halve the number of reps for every +10 pounds.  This probably underestimates your 1RM a little but whatever, at least you don't sound like one of those douches who thinks he can d/l 500 lbs because he does 225 for 6.

Let's assume you could sack up and get 455x8.  So 465x4, 475x2, 485x1.  I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 500.

I have heard many 1rm calculations when it comes to bench and DL but personally I believe that is often garbage.  I have been stuck on 500lbs for 4-5 for nearly a year or more.  I find that muscle memory really kicks in when you get above 70% of my max.  So at for me if 350+ I am deadlifting 5+ I will likely do at this at 485+.  Try stepping down bellow in weight under 70% of 1m and get your reps up to 15-20 this will teach you muscles to see more reps progressively at higher weight.  I have been working on this for a few months now.  Maybe it could work for you.
