    IS this weird?

    I can do bench press of 170lbs 5x5's but I can't push up 195 ONE TIME. I was reading a sheet on the wall in my gym telling me various reps and what the projected max for each weight was so I tried my projected max which was 205 couldnt do it, tried 195 still couldnt do it. I dont see how 25 pounds one time would be harder than -25 pounds 5 times with 5 sets?

    Everyone is different. If you can't, then you can't. But it's not wierd, no, it's just who you are. Keep reachin for that rainbow.

    You can't pay those charts any attention bro. Years ago I was doing 275 for 8 reps, and couldn't do 315. It will come eventually. Keep hitting it hard, and don't max out everytime you do chest.
