saw a guy bench 95 kg after i benched 70kg.
we started talking and i asked how long he had been lifting, he told me 4 years.
is that how long it takes to get 2 plate bench ?
Haha no.
How long did it take you to get 70?
Been lifting for about 2 years, 130kg max bench 3x120kg

Reps or singles?
In any case. The answer is no
>>36558331
8-9 months
>>36558408
>mfw I got it after 3 weeks
>>36558393
both of us 5 reps
that's normal in real life. you get to 2pl8 in a year or so and then don't progress much further, if at all
but this is /fit/ where we all bench 2pl8 after 3 months and break world records a year later
For normal people? yes.
For /fit/faggots who have no life outside going to the gym? not by a long shot.

oki

2 plate in a year seems hard, especially if you have to cut for 1/3 of that time.
>>36558285
if you're a lazy fuck like me, yes. i've been 'lifting' for 3 years and my 1RM is 2pl8.
for the average person who is willing to eat at a surplus, consistently, and lift, consistently, you should be at 2pl8 within a year easily. i did neither of those things which is why my bench isn't higher.
>>36558458
but the average person cant eat on a bulk but needs to eat on a deficit for 3-6 months.

Depends on your bodyweight. A >100kg person would be able to bench 2 plates in no time while a 70kg one would need good training for around a year and then atleast one Smolov Jr. cycle. Ofcourse arm length, wrist circumference etc. also matter. A guy with good genetics might even hit it with 6 months of SS.
Wtf I literally started at 2pl8 as a skinnyfat faggot.
Please try harder
Starting to get back into fitness after being a lazy slob after high school, so right now I'm in terrible shape, however.
Back when I was serious at the gym, I was working out with 110kg 5x5 bp after about 1.5 years at the gym. I was literally addicted to working out and had a perfect diet. My other "friends" in hs barely had any progress because of shitty diet and only working out biceps and chest, and called me a "steroid abuser."
It's all about the amount of effort you put into the gym. If you really want it and put in the effort, you'll be working out with 95kg in no time.
>>36558888
Your a year late with that joke.
>>36558408
what the fuck, i'm at 60 after a month, were you mad skelly?
>>36558940
i was at 60 after 3 months
>>36558946
that's cray cray
>it took me 1.5 years to get to 75kg 5rm
>get to 85kg 3x5 in a month
what happen

>70kg one would need good training for around a year and then atleast one Smolov Jr. cycle.
ftfy. you shouldnt need advanced periodization to hit 2pl8 bench
136kg, 3yrs and I wasted my first year and a half on my own program being an idiot
you can lift a fuckton more if you work on your "form" i.e. using all the tricks to minimize your ROM
