How the fuck do I get my bench up /fit/? I started lifting 6 weeks ago and I was making progress on my other lifts but bench is fucking shit.
Here is my progress:
Squats: the bar --> 115lb (yes, fucking pounds. I'm a weak skelly that never left his basement)
Deadlift: 60lb --> 170lb
Bench: bar --> 85lb
On the bright side I went from not being able to do a single pushup to being able to do multiple sets of 25...
Look what you've made me do. I'm bumping my own thread.

Most probably form, tell in as much detail as you can how you set yourself up for a bench press set. Starting from sitting on the bench.

6 weeks is nothing senpai
Your bench isn't even out of proportion compared to your other lifts, you're just weak
Keep benching and eat big

Ok here is my set-up.
>load up picture of qt3.14 I plan on asking out
>remind myself that someone like her deserves someone fit so must be able to lift heavy
>load up music to get those music gains/bump
>sit and lay back on bench
>put arms a little beyond shoulder width
>inhale as I lower weight to right below nipple level
>exhale as I raise back to starting position while avoiding horizontal movement
>repeat x5
>feel accomplished and then feel bad because its not enough to what qt deserves
>make thread on /fit/ as to why I can't lift heavy

Lifting 1pl8 or benching 1pl8? Always take fitness advice with a grain of salt if it's coming from autistic, chinese frog collecting forum.
