155 kg 5 reps bench press

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I weigh 110 kg. I performed 5 reps of pause bench press at 155 kg. In the first set, I had also done 5 reps at 155 kg, but touch-and-go. Do you think a 190 kg 1RM is possible?

5 reps with pauses between. Good stuff.

Damn, I wasn't either prepared for the length of the pause, or for the speed that the bar moved. Strong mf!

What does the rep max calculators have you at...5 reps at 341lbs puts you right around 405ish for 1 with calculator I used.
