Hey Andrew, see a doctor about the pec. The intent is to be safe rather than sorry, and you should know whether you have a serious issue before continuing to bench heavy.

I just hit 100kg for a single.
Week prior I did 85kg for 6 reps, so predicted 1 rep max 102kg.
Pretty accurate!

My predicted 1rm was 83 and I failed 77.5kg today.
60kg for 12 is my best, its worth noting I am sick at the moment. (i'm 14 at 83kg bodyweight 6'2)

Bench calculator says if I bench 225 3 times my max is 245. I have benched 255 once, so I believe it may be different for different people. I think it's very close but not exact.

Fun calculator. I like to check in with it now and then to compare my actual progress. It’s usually pretty close.

I am curious if anything like this exists for other lifts, in particular the squat and deadlift? That would be very cool if so.

I don't think we have one here, Dom, but it's not a bad idea. I will send that to my editors.

Thanks for reading M&S!

When do you recommend trying to max out? I'm 63. I just finished week 7 of the 10x3 bench press workout. I started at 135 and this week was 165. After set 10 I usually grab a spotter and try to go heavier. Monday I did 185 X 3 and today was 190 X 2. My spotters (usually guys 30 years younger than me) typically say I should try to max out before I do all my sets. Thoughts?

Hey John, on the day you max out, definitely do it before you do all your sets. You should warm-up but make sure you're fresh and ready when you go to do it.

I don't suggest maxing out every week, of course, but if you have a gut feeling you should that day, go for it!
