>mfw OP is 2k MMR and DYEL
it actually is. My bench is 55kg atm, I should be able to bump it up to 60 in time for the New year.
were all going to make it!
>>35306742
60kg is 3pl8
>>35306742
1pl8 is my warm up
too bad my max is 85kg ...
>>35306952
60kg is less than 1pl8
70kg is 1pl8
>>35306952
excuse me?
90 lb is 1 pl8
1 lb = 2.2 kg
90 lb = 40.8 kg
40.8 kg = 1pl8
60kg > 1pl8
Bench 5x117.5kg
ATG sqwat only 5x130kg
Im the main target in my gym where most pple have shitty bench but good squat..
>>35306988
60 is 1pl8
>>35307080
135 lb is one plate not 90 you buttball

>>35306715
Mine is to hit 2pl8 bench. It just feels so unattainable. I have really really long fucking arms and I can't seem to progress past 190. How do I bench heavy with a 6'3" wingspan bros?

Yeah this is definitely a new years thread
Remember to subtract the weight of the hole in the plates.
>>35307154
Yeah that'll surely help your bench, m8. Just see where things go wrong, focus on technique and get to work.
I can't, but I'm coming off a car accident that fucked me up.
Still going to make it right?
>>35307411
Grip plates are the worst

60kg is 1pl8

>getting kucked by the combustion jew
Nope

>>35307259
I'm 6'2" and my bench has slowly been going up with actual strength programs and planned progression. I have long arms too I just arch my back really hard, get my chest up as far as possible and shoulders pinched at the back. Try a wider grip maybe to reduce the rom

You're fucking autistic you always count the bar. Stop this retarded meme
1 pl8 = 135lb or 60kg
2 pl8 = 225lb or 100kg
>65kg bench 3x5
>66kg bw
2 more bench workouts before jan 1st to get a higher than bw bench.
>>35306715
How much mmr do i need do bench lmao 2pl8?
>>35307465
First, you only said about body weight exercises, so you shouldn't expect to bench press that much, maybe to do push-ups with a plate or 2 would be what you should compare with how much you can pull-up with.
If you are talking about weight exercises OHP 45kg it's about the weight you can press when you bench 55-60kg. If you want to compare your bench, compare it with other weight exercises like squats and deadlifts, tell us you're strong by doing those and then come back and ask where you went wrong. I was also behind a lot with my bench press until I did cut all the bullshit, started doing the PL position and actually added weight, before I could only do about 60-70kg bench press and 130kg deads and 100kg squats. Now I can 100kg bench, 120 squats and 150deads, I think that these numbers are in good relationship to each other when you talk about symmetric strength.
>>35307259
Ya I'm 6'4 and made mad gains on SL 5x5 3 days a week and actually tracking my macros to make sure I got enough calories to replenish. Do that, check form, be consistent. It will come child

Notify me when you hit 2plaet faggot
>>35307259
6'4, currently binching 2pl8 for 5 reps.
Bulk. Eat. Get big, push more weight. Make your shoulders and triceps strong. 2pl8 will come your way.
>>35306742
same here mang. I will go on 31 to gym to try doing 5x5 60 kg, hope I wont snap. Fuck new years resolution, I'll do it before.
How often do you guys bench? 3 times a week? 5 times a week? I'm struggling to get 1 pl8.
>>35309141
2-3 times a week for me. More than that and you're not giving your chest enough recovery time.
Make sure to supplement flat bench with incline bench, dumbbell bench and weighted dips.
>Bench 175
>Squat 150
>Squat on stall due to injury
My 2016 resolution is to get bench to 2pl8, stop hurting myself on squats (more stretching) and get squat up to 2pl8 or more.

Fuck my basketball proportions. I don't even like sports.
I do 10 reps with 40lb DB's right now. I think I could do 1pl8 by new years. I don't really want to try it without a spotter.
I'm new to this.
>>35309351
Just ask a friend to meet you at the gym every month or so to try for a new 1RM
>>35309312
Are you able to dunk?
>>35309221
Ok thanks
>>35309405
No. I suck ass at sports. Especially basketball.
Im willing to bet that the guys who make threads about what other people cant do, are the guys who just today managed to do it themselves.

You don't count the bar autistic fuck . 1pl8 is 20kg * 2 for standard 2 side bars . of course this will not work for 3side 4 side bars . I only see them in west Cork 3 side bar looks like a horizontal 'Y' and quarto bar™ like 'X'

Wait no, nvm, I just couldn't do a full set with 1pl8, only got 6 reps, had to bump down to 115lb for the sets

I benched 155 x 5
At 6'2 172lbs.
It'll go up Tuesday.
Also I bet I could OHP 130×5 next time. Give me 3 weeks and it might be 1plate.

>>35311881
Lifting 2 years and benches 1 plate?
Hes going to hold you back.
>>35312039
No shit, I figured that out day one. Only problem is there's maybe four guys at the gym who look like they know what their doing, two of them are the headphones in, "Don't bother me" looking type of people. Another is always there with his qt.13 blonde cardio bunny/squat thot, and the last is some guy I went to highschool with and feel awkward talking to, Probably gonna go with the last guy anyways though, just don't know how long it will take to become gym bro's

Just hit this a week ago... Not much, but it feels good.
>there are adults who can't do 1pl8
When I was 18, NEET and didn't work out I jumped on my cousin's bench and did 70kg
Been lifting for almost 4 Months and i can only bench 42 kilos (about 90 lbs) am i suposed to be lifting more than this or is it normal?
>>35314056
Tbh that is incredibly low.whats your weight you might not be eating enough or sleeping of your form is wack.
>>35314600
I Weight about 62 kilos i'am pretty skinny, i was juste told that i need to work on my tris ans shoulders. I dont sleep always right ans i dont always eat enough because i don't eat at home. How fucked am i Bros i'am losing motivation
>>35311881
>Literally working out with a gains goblin

>>35314639
if you wont start eating enough, nothing will help you. Calories doesn't come from air. Maybe start preparing food on weekend and eat during week ?
>>35313856
5x5 or just one rep and you shit yourself ?
>>35314639
Not completely.Depending on your height you could be underweight af
>i was juste told that i need to work on my tris ans shoulders
Could be your routine.Breh post your routine or pick a routine from the sticky,make a thread about your situation for more advice I don't know?
Sleep is important thats when your muscles are made you should get around 8 hours erryday.In stuff like SS you put weight on all your lifts every session its progressive overload.It seems you haven't been doing that since your bench is so low as a beginner you should be.Eating is incredibly important as well.Milk and pb has mad calories.fyi
It's obvious you're losing motivation who wouldn't when your lifts stall for so long.Though the opposite will happen when you fix your shit.
Fuck plates, fuck lbs.
The kilogram, use it.
Germanfag and former skeleton now skinnyfat here. I bench 45 kg 3x12 and I thought that was alright for one year of lifting. Went from 57 kg to 70 kg in 16 month with 13 % bodyfat.
>>35306715
I literally don't know how much I bench, because I never benched in my life. My dumbbells at home only go up to 40 kg total, which I can bench easily.

Any collarbone bros out there? Does it get better?
>>35315069
Well consistency is pretty important,and don't skip legs.
>>35315101
My bro royally fucked up his collarbone while downhill biking. Took him like two or three months till he was able to lift his hand over his head without discomfort. He's back to throwing people around in martial arts classes now. Shit takes a lot of time, but it will get better.
>>35315137
I only snapped it in one place, and mobility was all good 2 weeks after surgery, hopefully it won't take me long then
>>35309221
Isn't that too much? SS says to do basic bench press and that's that
>>35315236
SS says to throw accessories after like month if they are helping the trainee progress with main lifts or when they're good for aesthetics but not making you perform worse with the main lifts, and not to go over the top with them
>>35315527
How exactly are 4 additional variations to bench press going to help a noob? stop giving them bad advice
>>35311180
Obv bait, but for our newfriends - we do count the bar. The normal ones are 20kg/45lbs
>>35314056
You better be a woman or a spastic that didn't follow ss/sl
I hit at around 2-3 months, whatever the progression for SL is, think I weighed about 65kg
>>35311137
You're holding the bar in your hands, it does contribute way less than the plates you put on the bar, which are way farther out.
You do not count the weight of your hands and arms, too, do you?
Why do you think it's called 1pl8, 2pl8, etc.? Because you're only counting the plates.
You're probably the type of person to put two 10 kg plates on each side and claim it's 1pl8, because it's 40 kg.
>>35314056
forget about specific numbers
Worry about the progression. Every week you should be able to lift more than the week before, that's all that matters.
If you think you're underperforming, eat more, sleep more.

My resolution is to get to 100 on OHP before new years
Then I'll be going for 115 by july, then 1 plate by December next year. People are already impressed by my 95 lb OHP. Just wait until I'm actually pushing 1 plate
>6'4"
>230
>125lb bench
I suck, but i will get better.
Also, it feels like my front delts get hit harder than my chest when i bench, is my form fucked or could it be my delts just weaker than my pecs and thus getting hit harder?

Nice, I just went from benching 2 plates to 4
>>35316085
This. Ppl started to count the bar because newfags want to appear that they lift more than they really do . reason why ppl don't count the bar is because there are different bars with different length and weight .

No if you buy strawberries in a basket and the weight if strawberries is 200g and the basket 50g you don't say that you got 250g if strawberries. The same with pl8s why do you think ppl say 1pl8 to establish the number of 20kg plates on a bar on each side . if the weight of bar was included they would not call it 1pl8 .
>>35317259
Do u also include the weight of your spotter ?
>>35317335
I'm currently taking a shit that is smarter than you.
The container has nothing to do with the product that you're paying for. It's a package you retard. The weight of a bar contributes to the weight of the lift. How if a bar weighs 45 lbs and a 2 45 lb pl8 weighs 90lb. That's 135 lbs of weight you're lifting. You added 90 lbs to the bar which is what you seem to be retarded about.
>>35317573
The same way pl8 has nothing yo do with total weigh since you only calculate the weight of the pl8 , go read a book and educate yourself you gomad fukboj
>>35317335
because the strawberries are for eating and you dont eat the basket you little shit.
