I remember last year in September I could barely do 3 reps with 95lbs. Made some gains

Also does anyone know any overhead press percentage calculators?

It's a calculator that tells you your 1 rep max, 90% of 1RM, 80% of 1RM, 70% of 1RM, and so on. There's a lot of calculators for squat, bench and deadlift but I can't find one for OHP.

This is just my opinion...but who cares what a calculator says!? :P

 

Find your 1RM by pushing as much as and as hard as you can. You know you can do, what was it, 95lbs for 6 reps? So keep bumpin it up and see what you can do. Don't let a calculator tell you how much you can lift...get out there and lift it yourself! #HTH

Form looks great! As for calculators I have always used the 1RM Calculator from Bodybuilding.com but I am recently finding they aren't accuarate. Just hit the gym on your best day and find your 1 RM youreslf, don't rely on those calculators.

I have been training coming up on 6 years and have made some great gainz. I've done a lot of trial and error on myself as well as learned from others and through research online. I've come along way in strength and size since I've started. I will continue to learn and make myself better each day.

Exactly! @ohawkey Where do you need you 1 rm for? Want to build your training with percentages of your 1 rm? I noticed that my 'training 1rm' is usually a bit lower than my real 1rm. Make sure to consider that when determining your percentages.

I just wanted to have an estimate so I know where to aim when I go for a max. Right now I have no idea where I'm at.

Just as an estimate so I know which weight to aim for. But yeah, maybe when I get more familiar with doing heavy OHP I'll have an idea where to aim.
