How much can you bench press?

Ah right, a useful point at that.

According to this 1RM calculator, 8x48kg would suggest my 1RM is 60kg.

Don't ever trust these 1RM calculators, they're often quite off track... Always predicting more or less too low. If I stick in my set weight on say dumbbell bench press (flat), 35kg in each hand, 6 reps it predicts something quite low like 40kg whilst I easily do 45 for max...

To get on topic... I normally do 3 sets of [email protected]
1RM is 97.5kg

Ah right, a useful point comment at that.

I'm 5'8" (already mentioned in this post).

Today I did 8x48kg dumbell bench press, which according to a 1RM calculator suggests I could do a 1x60kg dumbell bench press.

Similarly, 8x80kg squat suggests I could do 1x100kg squat. (ignoring bar)

Similarly, 8x70kg deadlift suggests I could do 1x85kg deadlift. (ignoring bar).

And I can close the CoC #1.5, getting close to the #2.

I have a mass of 11 stone.

Why?

Well this is clearly false. Take Ronnie Coleman who is taller than me, he's also stronger than me.


Well work done is the force multiplied by the distance it was applied through, rather than the mass, but that's not important.


I don't see how this follows. (Also, I don't think we can assume the total energy each person can use is the same, which this argument relies on).

Force is directly proportional to mass.

If you're going to resort to just being a pedant then I give up already, it seems like trying to get a point across to you is like banging your head against a brick wall anyway.

Believe what you want, happy lifting.

It's very strange for me. I can rep 50kg 10 times thrice, but my 1 rep max is 55kg.

It may be because of my age, weight and height or something.

Age: 15 Weight: 10 and 1/2 stone Height: 6ft

can bench around 60 kg. I'm slightly intimidated by my twin sis, she can do the same

Which is why I said, "but that's not important". It seems like you tried to pull out some fancy physics to try to confuse people, but failed.
