My 1RM on bench is 230. My 3RM is about 185. My 5RM is about 175. Why are these proportions so ****ed up? Serious.
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? That is weird For me: 1RM is 230 3RM is 210 5RM is 200
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? Are you benching unassisted for your 1RM? If not your spotter may be assisting too much and you're not actually pressing 230.
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? I don't believe this for one second. Your true 3rm is not 185 then. Or your true 1rm is not 230.
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? It's just how it is... My 1RM deadlift is 510 My 3RM deadlift is between 350 and 360 But somehow I can rep 315 for over 20 reps My bench is even worse of a difference; 225 for 3 but...155 for 10. My arm span is 7' so I attribute it to that. It all depends on how your leverage is, how the weight hits the muscle, muscle condition etc. What is the big deal?
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? No assistance. I wish I had that. I've never gone all out on repping. On my climb up to 230 today I could only get 185x3, possibly 1 or 2 more reps if I prepped for it with my previous sets. I tend to get a skinnier grip when I'm maxing out though.
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? Hey OP I'm the same way, my bench press is a lot better (mass/strength ratio) than any other routine. It could be genetics, but most likely you work a lot of bench, or neglect certain other exercises.
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? It's not that my bench is out of whack from my other lifts. It's that the proportion of the reps I can do are out of whack. Check OP. How deep red are you?
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? If you're changing your grip as you lift higher weights, you're shifting the workout from your shoulders to your triceps and that may contribute to why your lifting more. Try to keep your grip the same when you're benching and see if that changes your lower weight RMs
Why is my bench 1RM so much higher than my other RM's? 3 RM is 187. 1 RM is 210. Pretty much 1 RM calc accurate. Your totals are weird.
