Whatever maxes you plugged in, your first attempt will be about 105% of that when it comes time to test new maxes. Second attempt could be 5% more but I'd rather decide how much more based on bar speed, RPE, and form breakdown. Third attempt shouldn't be set In stone but based on the second attempt like at a meet. Seeing as you're pretty new to powerlifting you should see some nice new maxes at the end of #32

Dammit Brutus if you hit a 440 bench and I'm starting PL. I don't see the 500 squat and 600 pull being to tough for you.
I can't fall to far behind

If you really mean that I'm going to procure some halo and send it to him so he hits a 480 bench lmao.
He should def hit a 500 squat IMO from seeing his squats in person and a 600lb pull is not unrealistic with his tenacity n
It'll be perfect timing for me to make a switch. It'll give me enough time to drop my BF to a good % and I should be getting ready to blast right around that time.
Well you know I'm behind that 100% lol. Anytime you're ready to make the switch over you got a great group of guys here that can help you out

And I wont be much help, but Ill pop in your thread and post booby pics
And if he backs out of powerlifting I'll pop in his thread and post dick pics!
Im more than open to give the PL routine your doing a go from start to finish. Besides I need some structure and a change of pace. It'll keep me motivated and better rounded. You still gotta hit that 440 though.

Thats probably my favorite thing about PLing (besides lefting heavy ass weights). The structure. I know before I go in exactly what weight and how many reps im doing. No need to figure out my workout everyday.
I'm always a bit intimidated by heavy weights. Mostly singles. I did PL based routines back in the late 90's thru the early 2000's. Mostly for sport related enhancements. All my injuries ALWAYS came from heavy singles. Such a fine line to walk with PL. This is why I never tried my max in forever mostly on bench. Squats I feel more secure, kinda
Don't even mention deadlifts. It's not in me to fail. I'd rather break my back than set that weight down. Ask me how I know
I find it hard to squat due to balance issues because of the lingering effect of my head injury but I do go light for enough reps to compensate. Deads I can handle better so I will be doing more of them as my right knee finally is strong enough not to fail when pulling.
I am much more comfortable with 1rpm on bench and DL than squat. Squats are the ones that makes me think twice
PL certainly has its place in a proper bb's diet tho. I successfully used heavy triples to reach my largest body weight of 280 last cycle. Test c 750 and 5200-6000 cals got me there. It's really satisfying and like rob said keeps you motivated to change things up. Unadulterated strength gains are pretty cool

Form breakdown is most prevalent with heavy/limit singles. You'd typically start with more reps and not work heavy singles for the first year or maybe even more. You'd do lots of 5-8rep sets at first with the occasional triple. As time goes by you begin to do more and more 3-5rep sets. Eventually that works it's way into doubles and then singles then max effort work. The progression allows you to physically and mentally prepare for heavy singles and if you keep working on form you'll have much lower risk for injury.
Whenever you want it pm me your email. Plug in your maxes and good to go.
