If your 1RM bench isn't even near your body weight, what percentage of you 1RM do you recommend for this?

Jay E 58
Mike P 91
Sam B 221

Nina 38 (135#)

Nicole S 104 (65#)

Nice work each athlete fighting for that extra rep each round, getting some more total points in the process, and thus building that strength component.
PR's in the house for Jay E, repping out 245# like nobody was home, and Sam B aka "the butterfly whisperer" - with 221 total reps- eager to smash his old record of 210.

Mel,
Last time I did 80lbs which is about 65% of my 1RM. I got a score of 99 and wrote in my training book that I thought it was a good weight.

TP said...

Mel- good question- so far for those that have scaled, a good measure has been right there at 70-75% of your max. Go with it, and godspeed.
Remember to use the % chart on the wall over by the barbells rack.

Thank you Wendy and TP!

Hey KoPers- Back to back blog posts for me this week, figured I'd share :-). Inspired by the CF games and GMA report on Cameron Diaz being too muscular.
