BRO, DO YOU EVEN LIFT?
Sorry, I love any excuse to use that phrase. I kinda cringe when people ask that question of 'how much can you bench'. One lift alone does not a performance athlete make.
But anyways, I only consider something a PR if I can 5RM on it. In which case, my bench is at 275.
I'm going to try for a new power clean PR today of 225. I got 3 reps in last time, but I couldn't get those last two. I might do one less warm-up set to save some strength..

Depending on if your lifting for strength or hypertrophy you would normally lift around 85% of your 1RM for strength and 70% for hypertrophy. Again this varies with different people and different programs but is what I currently use.
Now if my car was a manual I would be lifting more but my manhood has been diminished as I drive an auto.

So much truth right here.
