*Update*

I hit a new DL PR today after being seriously inspired by reading this thread and where I fell in the list.

425 @ 195

I think I could've done more, but my grip started failing and I almost dropped 425 on the way back down

500 is still aways off, but then again I can remember when I thought 315 was impossible

I can't believe we're counting predicted 1RMs. If you haven't lifted it, you haven't lifted it.

I should have just shown up at Seniors and said "I squatted 135 for a set of five in warm-ups, so I'm just going to predict that I'd hit 705 and sit this one out. Wake me up when it's time to bench."

:p

There's a lot of mental issues that comes with lifting something heavier. Just because you're projected to do it, doesn't mean you will or can.

I agree, just stick up 275 for me, even though I did it 3 times xD! Gives me more incentive to climb the ladder anyways!

I have to agree. The calculated 1RM is a prediction and gives you an idea of your capabilities, but the actual lift is what counts.

So... take them off the list altogether, or leave them as I have them now: in a sub-section with asterisk?

Leave them there for a few days. PM them, in case they haven't folllowed lately, asking them for their last max attempt or asking them to go shoot for a new one.
