125/140

1rm is always a bit lower than calculators tell me it should be

beata - how slow were you going on the 10 rep workout? It seems that you're possibly somewhat close to 285 already, however, if you were going super slow on it, it's probably not as indicative of your 1rm as it otherwise would be.

My g/f seems to have a lower 1rm DL than she should (sample size of going for her 1rm once, on a day she didn't feel very strong about it) but ymmv.

My DL (1 year of barbell lifting experience) 1rm was lower than it was supposed to be and I felt I had a good pull. But last time I did bench it was spot on according to that calculator.

Anyway, I guess a summary and my main advice would be - dooo iiiiiiiiiiit!

Personally I feel like OHP is one of those exercises where everything is way harder than it should be, especially if it comes from a dead stop... my 1rm is probably like 5lb over my 5rm haha

I don't understand where all this talk about "prohibition" is coming from. This discussion started with talk about how ridiculous it is to FF restaurants to not offer super-size combos, which is actually a rational and sensible thing to do. If you want more food, ****ing order more food. No one is taking away that right. The point of legislation like that is to push back at a restaurant industry that has figured out how to manipulate people into eating more.

This is really not that far off from things like the psychological impact that a smaller plate has on getting people to eat less food. "They're taking away our freedom!" No they're not. ORDER TWO COMBOS IF YOU WANT TO EAT MORE. The point is that there's a huge psychological jump between "I'm eating one super-size combo!" and "I'm eating two combos!", even if they contain the same amount of food. McDonalds figured it out. Fat people don't want to feel bad about being fat when they eat tons of food, and one of the better ways to do that is to make portion sizes bigger.

If people want to buy supersized drinks and restaurants want to sell supersized drinks, it's in no way the government's place to stand in and say that can't happen. If you want to regulate things based on psychological/marketing "manipulation" you could make a case against pretty much any form of advertising out there imo. It's probably true that plate/drink sizing or whatever affects how people make food choices, but let them. People can be responsible for their own business, and if they can't, then that's on them. Free market and stuff, you know.

So instead of ordering 1x$2.25 drink I now order 2x$1.50 drinks. So, you've basically created a vice tax. Cool?
