No, but it’s relatively close, unless you’re lifting like 500 lbs. But, the amount you can lift at the lower rep ranges will increase more, which makes sense.
This isn’t a very good explanation, it’s kind of confusing…but if you think about it more a little while you should be able to figure it out.
If you increase your 10RM from 185 to 195 lbs, and your original 1RM was 245, it won’t necessarily be exactly 255. The 1RM will increase more.
Try plugging in numbers to a 1RM calculator and you should be able to figure out the trends.
I find that the number of reps I can do with a particular weight has no carry over to a ME. I train both independently.
For example-
right now I can raw bench 545 with a pause for a ME.
I can also bench 425 for 10 reps.
If I were to continue to just work for a ME my raw bench will go up but I know for a fact that it won’t help me to get anymore reps with 425. In fact the numbers for 425 will probably drop a little. I do my best to do some high rep stuff every two weeks but my main concern is ME.
