While everyone's strength is indeed unique, and the calculator is just that--an
estimate of what your max would be--it has proven to be very accurate across a wide-range of lifters. In fact, IIRC Kudla's record for the bench (605, 610?) at Ohio State was determined by calculation and by an acutal max lift. Fast-twitch or slow-twitch is not all that relevent because the same muscles being used for the reps are being used for the max.
Regardless, I'm sure Storm's training is being well-monitored and will be tailored to suit his developmental needs.
