You have 3.1415926535 milliseconds to tell me why you can't bench at least 3 plates 1RM.
but i can. for 10 even
how can i bench 3 pl8s 1rm when i can only just bench 2pl8 1rm
>>36847357
how did that even happen
>>36847399
i think the pic was intentionally taken that way
>>36847357
I can, can you tell me why you can bench more than you squat?
>>36847357
>super manlet
>lmao2pl8 for 6 about an hour ago
>getting there senpai
>>36847357
because I'm a little dyel benching a liitle over 1 plate
I'll tell you when I can hit 1 pl8 1RM
>>36847362
What do you look like?
>>36847435
I'm 6'8" and reached 3 plate bench today but still look like fucking shit. Honestly thinking of quitting lifting and made this thread to feel good about myself.

>6'8 Holy fuck mate.
Everyone I know thats even close to your height struggles to lift anything close to that, presumably because of long ams. How are you that strong, at that height and still look like shit?
>>36847467
wow, those are the most useless guards ever
Because I am a 5'8 150 lbs skeleton manlet who only started benching 3 months ago and can only bench 135 for 10 reps.
[spoiler]Like most of /fit/.[/spoiler]
6'3
can only bench 225 for about 7-8 reps
im trying to cut so im JUST trying to maintain
>>36847980
Keep up the work man. I was there not to long ago. I can hit 270lb 1 rm now.
>>36848351
how?
i tried doing 200 for sets of 5
is that a good way to increase?
>>36847357
cuz i only max 205 :(
>>36847357
Been lifting for 3 months now, went from 90lbs bench to 135
>>36847980
>only bench 225 for about 7-8 reps
you're JUST alright
>>36847357
I'm like 115 pounds.
>>36847357
I am not really sure why you would have 3 plates. You need an even amount of plates. 2 on one side and 1 on the other?
>>36847357
got to 305 max and dislocated left and right shoulder within 2 months of each other. Back at 275 and I'm gonna hit that 315 within 3 months
>>36849048
>>36847357
Because I eat pi like a fatass
>>36847357
im working on it, 265 now senpai :(
>>36847357
but I can bench 315
>>36847467
It's like a fucking magic trick
I...I can 1 rm dumbell press 110 o...only 45.5 pounds more for technically 3 plate r...right ;_;
Who the fuck can't bench 315 after 2 years of lifting?
If you can't do it, you should maybe consider a different hobby. I heard rock collecting is great
1RM is 85kg that's why.
I can bench >315, but I'm a manlet and do not look like I can lift it. This is what I get for
>training for strength
>>36847357
But I can...
>>36847357
cause i fucked up my diet for too long
Currently hitting 155 for 5x5. No idea what my 1rm is. Im guessing somewhere between 185 and 205. Probably closer to 185.
>>36851396
to add to that, skinnyfag currently escaping skelemode. Bench was approx 90lbs 9 months ago. Just gotta keep growing at a good pace and Ill be at 225 5x5 in another year or so.
>>36847357
I don't bench. It is fucking terrible for your shoulders
bros my working set is 225 5x5. do you think i could max out at 315?
>>36847980
>>36848370
Speaking from experiance (same levels of strenght 3-4 months ago):
Don't go above 2pl8.
If you can do 7-8 reps with 2pl8, go down to 180 and do slow, controlled, paused sets of 12.
And I mean controlled eccentric, breath at the top, breath out only when arms are locked - the full IPF experiance bench press.
Also do an over warm-up - if your max is 270, work up as quickly as possible to a triple with 225 , a single with 250 and then start to do 4-5 sets of 12 with 180.
After 2 months of that shit, go up to 200, if you can do them for an easy 12, you can try for a 290 single at the end of your normal over warm up. And if you can double that, load up 3pl8. Why not? It's just a fucking warm up.
Also eating helps.
>>36851488
What's the logic in this, exactly?
>>36847357
>You have 3.1415926535 milliseconds to tell me why you can't bench at least 3 plates 1RM.
Because I literally don't give a flying FUCK about it, I'll never in my entire life need my triceps to be that strong, why would even DO that?
>>36851887
>3.1415926535
You rounded wrong it should be 3.1415926536 you stupid fucking nerd
>>36847357
In my weight class that's the national record, I think.
>>36847357
shoulder problems for a long time
but i squat over 5pl8s for reps.................................................
>thanks mark
>>36852455
>but i squat over 5pl8s for reps
I'm sure you do...
Only been lifting for 2 years, probably hit it by the end of the year. At 285 right now.
I'm not strong enough
>>36847357
>some newcomers go up the bench
>throw some 10s on each side and struggle with it
>think "noobs come on, that's not even hard"
>that's probably what the stronger folk think when they see me benching
Feels bad man
>>36852516
i'm basically a bbw so don't worry
but yeah at like 235 bw i'm hitting around 540 for a max, so that's about 500 for a triple
I'm only a beginner
>>36847357
I'm weak
>>36847509
Im 6'1 and i have ridicilous long arms. I can deadlift 5.5pl8 for 1 but my bench max is 3pl8 for 1. If only i would enjoy deadlifting i could reach manly weights.
>>36847357
Too weak, nearly there though. Lmao3plate is 140kg and I can bench 130kg
>>36847357
140lb 5'6" manlet
Because no one at my weight class ever has.
