My 8 reps has slowly improved as I changed my diet recently (not especially healthy, I still live in the US and am broke af so healthy food is a treat for me) and I’m up to 185 lbs (bar+ Plate and 25 each side), I very rarely do 1 Rep Max because it gets me exhausted for the rest of my exercise unless I drink a shitload of water. Last I checked I’m at 205 (bar+ Plate and 35 each side). Sorry if this is confusing to anyone because of the Lbs to Kilos dilemma. Around 84 kilos for 8 Reps, around 93 kilos for 1RM, what are yall at?
I haven’t 1rm’d in a hot minute, but I’m currently working with 165 lbs? (60 60 45). I had missed out on one week at the gym, and 165 was a struggle 😵. If I’m starting with new weight, I’ll do 4x6 one week, 5x6 the next , then 4x8.
