You should be hitting 275 for ~20 given your 1RM

Also, post a vid as proof or else your claimed numbers are way too big to take seriously. Not saying they are impossible at all, but most cannot hit those numbers even with significant training.

Was able to do 275 for 5 reps when I was 19, that was when I was at my strongest. Right now at 24 I don’t think I would be able to hit it for a single, could definitely put up 250 for a single though.

i can hit 275 with 1
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

I used to compete in powerlifting. As I said in another post, why would I e-stat such mediocre powerlifting numbers? Someone actually e-statting a deadlift under 700 lbs would be hilarious lol.

I know how 1RM calculators work. 20 is a lot of reps. Being off by a couple reps on one set means nothing lol. Also, that 446 isn't recent, it's just my PR. I'm also 15 lbs lighter now.

"Way too big to take seriously" just shows how low your bar is set. Of course they're not impossible. In the powerlifting world, they're very mediocre.

510 double bench is huge.

I'd like to hit 500 someday, but as time goes on it seems less and less likely. Health, career, etc.

I've shifter more towards being leaner and trying to look better, but I can't bring myself to fully quit training for strength. It's just too fun.

Being off a couple of reps matters a lot the heavier the weight is. Also saying "anybody e-statting under 700 is hilarious" is just a random arbitrary statement. Why is something under that number not enough to e-stat? Also, you could be picking different numbers to try and seem more realistic.

And it's one thing to have used to have competed in powerlifting, but your numbers are well into Elite level numbers. You'd have numerous titles and wins. What federation(s) did you compete in? Any videos of your lifts, at the gym or in competition?

Oh I hear you. I'm still going to lift moderately heavy. But I'm not going to go strictly for strength. See sig

A 700 deadlift for someone my size in powerlifting is fuking pathetic lol. It was 316 kg with calibrated comp plates, that's why the pound number comes out so random.

While I appreciate your overestimation of my abilities and accomplishments, that just isn't true. Go look at powerlifting rankings for untested 242 class lifters. Even 198 and 220. My numbers are nothing.

I have my lifts on youtube, yeah. Not posting here, though. I'm honestly super cool with people thinking I'm e-statting.
