Comment on That's fair
zarathustrad@lemmy.world 3 days agoI don’t lift anymore and am now 30% potato, but back in the day:
I would estimate a 1RM from a 5RM (5-rep max represents roughly 85% to 87% of 1RM) and found that more accurate than 10 or 3 but many use 3.
So, for example, if my 5RM was ~217-220 I would be comfortable claiming 255 1RM.
(In practice I was doing 250-280 in sets of 5-10, and had no issue with 300-310 1RM).
My vote is assured! Wait, do they take the vote away when you pull your tricep?

There are online calculators or some lifting apps already do that automatically as well. Though personally if anyone asks i do say my current working weight, aka 95kgx8 for bench, even gatekeeping myself with my take.
Of course it counts, the idea is to reduce the amount of people ego lifting and increase how long they work out.
