365 lb × 5 — common questions
What is my one-rep max if I lift 365 lb for 5 reps?
About 422 lb (191 kg), taken as the mean of the Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, O'Conner and Mayhew formulas. Individually they give 411 to 434 lb, so the range is the honest answer.
Is 422 lb a good bench press?
If the lift is a bench press, 422 lb (191 kg) puts a man at 82.5–87.5 kg bodyweight at the 99th percentile of 29,914 judged competition benches — world-class. That population all competed, so it is stronger than a gym average.
What should I warm up with?
The ramp below runs 169 lb × 5, 232 lb × 5, 295 lb × 3, 338 lb × 2, 380 lb × 1, then the working single at 422 lb. It is a conventional ladder rather than a rule; the test is that the last warm-up still moves fast.
