puts you around 205lbs for a 1rm, a lot more than you thought?

I think 205 is about what I would have expected in a normal week. I had 180 as a 5rm last week, and the calculators put that at around a 205 1rm, too.

Still, though, this wasn't a normal week. I walked into the gym already tired and sore from doing 200 push ups on Monday (I don't think I've done 200 push ups in a day in like 15 years). So I was pleasantly surprised to be able to hammer out a 10-rep set on that one.
