Did bench at the Y today.
Haven't done that in ages. Figured I'd do 5 sets of 5 at some reasonable percentage of a reasonable estimate of my 1 rep max.
I settled on 225# as an estimated 1 rep max and although in my mind I planned 75%, I did the math for 60% (135#), so I did 5 reps of that, and then realized it was only 60%.
So I did the math for 70% and 75% (157 and 168# respectively) and decided to play it safe and go with 155#, just under 70%.
It was a good choice. Challenging, but no need for a spotter (although 3 people offered).
Good workout.
