    It was his chest routine for Mr olympia dude!!!!

    I quoted the **** in here earlier.... he was ending with sets of 4 at 415 lbs

    he was starting with 15 of 275.

    The best bodybuilder in history!!!!!!

    Come on man.... Why would wlad being matching arnold in benching?
    Let alone you being able to do it to.

    You said times 20?????

    20 times of 275... you then said you tried and could only do 15???

    I am confused. If you max out 225 20 times, you are not even going to come close to 275 15 times.

    That is anatomically impossible.

    You then said your max was 355.

    Seriously, 275 15 times, you should probably become a professional body builder.

    That is the work out regimen of gigantic NFL players and top level body builders.

    top NFL guys to 225-250 upwards of 30 times.

    I would have to train again hard to get to the 275 15 again.... hurt my elbow.... I dont lift the max anymore like I did... I was kinds obsessed with working out 2 years ago......so when you workout 10 times a week:roll::roll:... you can lift heavy fast

    there are a couple old pics in my album ....

    I've been looking it up online, 275 15 times is pretty phenomenal.

    And no one benches 225 30 times, that isn't even a reasonable workout.

    That does nothing but burn you out. What application would require you to be able to bench something 30 times?

    I was big into working out for a long time, that makes 0 sense. I know NFL players are not burning out on 225, not even body builders are.

    Is that you in your profile?? You do look pretty stout, 355 seems like a little more than I would suspect you bench.

    One rep max calculator. ^

    275 for 20 reps, Klitschkos max would around 583 lbs.

    275 for 15 reps equals a max of around 450 lbs- plus or minus about 5 lbs either way.

    I call BS.

    I used to know the calculation for it, but I haven't been a hard core gym enthusiast in like 2 years.

    I remember each rep equating to so much weight.

    If you know your "x" rep max, and you want to find out what your 1 rep max should be for that exercise, devide the coefficent by the corresponding "rep #"

    Reps/ CoEfficient
    1. 1.00
    2 .943
    3 .906
    4 .881
    5 .856
    6 .831
    7 .807
    8 .786
    9 .765
    10 .744
    11 .723
    12 .703
    13 .688
    14 .675
    15 .662
    16 .650
    17 .638
    18 .627
    19 .616
    20 .606

    275/1 obviously= max 275 lbs
    275/ 5 (.856) = max 309 lbs 85 % effort of max for each rep
    275/ 10 (.744) = 375 lbs 74 % effort
    275/ 15 (.660) = 450 lbs 66 % effort only for each rep. This should be easy weight for you like a warm up.
