@ goudy if you can bench 3 and a half plates for that amount of reps... i think you can single with 405

Goudy, if I remember right you did 365x3. Your 1RM calculates out to 397.85 give or take.

Thats 355x5 pre exhausted. God knows what I would ghet fresh with a few weeks conditioning I would like the 4 plates (396lbs) 180kg

355x5 calculates to 408.5 for a 1RM. Keep your reps low No more than 3, rest 2-3min between sets working to a single.

biggest lie in this thread bruce most honest

whatever dude, I did it when I was 18. Gus Rethwisch was there and can verify that I benched 535 raw at 181. It was so clean everyone thought I could have gotten a second rep easy. Ask Gus.

Hey Coach, what do you think about Fivehead18 doubting my ability?

only in theory. Everybody is different some are good at high reps and some are good at low reps. I guess that would be the average

I agree, it depends on how you train. Most 1RM are used in PL or training athletes to set up the program if the coach uses percentages. I use percentages in the majority of my programs. In bodybuilding, obviously there is no need to use percentages.

I think he should re-think it. It's totally possible

Rest 2 to 3 min btw max attempt sets? Nope, wrong! More like 5 min

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #213 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:12:29 PM »

Thanks, I'll tell that to athletes who are breaking PR's every week with 3 min rests depending on group size. We're going up at 10% each week on main indicator lifts. So when my 190lbs RB who set another PR tonight of 305lbs in the bench snaps a labrum because of a 5 or more mins.

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #214 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:14:25 PM »

I'll tell him that the 155lbs PT on getbig said so.

Tell that to George Halbert, Doug Heath, and JM Blakely. I've seen all of them dudes train in person, and they ALL rest a long time btw max attempts (at least 5 min). FYI, George Halbert is probably the best 198/220 bench presser EVER

I don't train PL's, I train athletes. When I train myself on Max effort days, my rest time is 3min 4 max. Regardless, we still have PR's set every week.

please don't tell me you believe in that Westide Louie Simmons shit lol. Chains and bands baby

When you really max, the last attempt before max should be a single at around 80 %, no more, and with a good rest and mental preperation before max, 10 or 15 minutes if needed.

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #219 on:** May 23, 2011, 09:18:55 PM »

Its not a westside template but yes, I do believe its a great template and you can't argue with the results of their powerlifters and before you go and say its all drugs, I don't care how much shit you take, you ain't going to get a 1000lb squat or an 700 bench without a system.

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #220 on:** May 23, 2011, 09:19:52 PM »

And yes, we use bands, chains and weight releasers.
