@JeffC, this is what I can come up with for math:
That's without figuring age. If we do that, we already looked it up the other day. You're 39 - 40 is the benchmark so no benefit until you're 41. I'm 65, 1.48 benefit as discussed above. Now we have:
That means me deadlifting 175 lbs. for reps. My DL stuff is in kilos, so that's 79.4 kg, so we'll call it 80 kg.
Bar = 20 kg, red plates = 50 kg, competition-style clamps = 5 kg, so
Bar + red + 2.5 + comp clamps = 80 kg, for reps, double overhand.
Will upload link in a minute - have to go do this first ...
EDIT - link:
20 reps - grip was getting iffy, would have managed another few, can't say how many, before I'd have dropped the bar. My son took the video and counted reps for me.
