Double-checking Training Max Math
Post Body

I did a TM test the other week, but I want to double-check my logic on how to use the results.

For example, my highest bench was 5x170lbs. They felt strong and fast. Could've done more reps or more weight, but that's where I'm at (can't say the same about overhead press, unfortunately).

So is 170 my training max that I base all other calculations on? For example, say I follow a template that suggests 85% training max to base all numbers on, and the first set in 5's prog is 65%. Does that mean that the first set should be:

170 x 85% x 65% = ~94lbs for 5 reps?

OR should I ignore the "85%" part because I got 5 reps?
