> always see someone bench more than 1pl8
> never see anyone squat more than 2pl8s
Why is this allowed, /fit/?
>>37156815
I squat 4 plates for my working set
Fite me
Are you asking us why do you go to a shitty gym?
kill yourself
>>37156815
Becase benching 1 plate is a lot easier than squatting 2 plates.
>>37156863
>implying
I reached 2pl8 squats before I reached 1pl8 bench
i have seen 2 people squatting more than 3 plate in my gym
one guy DLing more than 180kg
no one benching >100kg
no one overhead pressing >50kg.
>>37156815
Your view is shifted because of fit.
The people here that actually train and post have likely been lifting for a longer period of time and followed programs that , for example, include squats. 90% of your gym population doesnt do that shit properly and only people that take it really serious post here. So IRL if you can do 1/2/3/4 you are more of an exception than /fit/ reflects.
This doesn't even include the fact that there are a lot of non-lifters outside in this world.
>>37156815
girls don't care about legs m8 xx
>>37156877
Lmao t-rex
>>37156910
also:
bench is THE meme lift that everyone knows and thinks he has to perform if he isn't informed. The regulars in my gym ALWAYS Bench but idgaf and do my shit.
>>37156877
bullshit I started benching 1pl8 like a month in maybe two
A simple way to discern why that is is to see what most people mean when they ask you "how much u lift bro??"
9 times out of 10 it'll mean how much you bench
Being a t-rex is fun
Max bench 115kg
max squat 180kg
Did someone say high test?
>>37156895
only one person in my gym squats more than 3 plates, there is a friend of mine that can do around 5pl8+25lb extra for 1rm. saw a guy benching 275 lb thursday. another guy can do an OHP at 1pl8 with 10 lb for 5 sets.
i did starter strength for 4 weeks before i did ppl now my legs are 4 weeks ahead of my bench, and its crazy how important even one day on one weak is to increasing your lifts
>>37156877
shoo shoo t-rex
>>37156996
>1pl8 with 10 lb
what? do you know what plate means?
>>37157022
How fucking dyel are you that a 2 plate squat is trex?
As soon as I got to 4pl8, I'd only ever seen someone do 4pl8. Then a couple weeks later I saw a guy doing 5pl8 triples and a different guy doing 6pl8, but he did it sumo so who fucking cares lol
>>37156815
Pretty sure half the population in /fit/ have no idea what counts as 1pl8 anymore.
>>37157139
when you only bench 1pl8
1pl8 is 50% of 2
2pl8 is 66.6% of 3
therefore you're bottom heavy compared to 1/2/3/4 standard
as a bong who doesn't use freedom units is a plate 20kg?
so as in benching 1 pl8 would be in total 60 (20 bar and a plate either side)? and then 2pl8 would be 100
>>37156895
>no one overhead pressing >50kg.
I was OHPing 53kg yesterday
>tfw only got 4 reps out of 5
;_;
>>37157680
>1pl8 is 50% of 2
Holy shit are you retarded?
>>37156863
I benched 2 plates before I could squat 1.
I squat more now though, if I didn't keep injuring myself it'd be a lot more
>>37156877
me too.... I'm a t-rex just like you
Real question is why do I never see anyone OHP or even Push Press 2pl8?
>>37157680
>50 percent of 2
2plates is 270 pounds. Everyone was just adding wrong.
>>37157742
answer me you fucks i swear it's an arbitrarty unit but loads of people use it differently
>>37157680
>1pl8 is 50% of 2
>2pl8 is 66.6% of 3
1pl8 is 60% of 2pl8
2pl8 is 71.4% of 3pl8
>>37157840
>>37157822
you see this is exactly what i'm talking about it's such a dumb system just use numbers
>>37157807
Are you trolling?
2pl8 is 225 lbs
I fucking hate squats and deadlifts. I just can't go all out without fear of being injured, I've tried deadlifting so many times and my lower back just hurts so I don't want to do it. I tried going all out on squats and my thigh joints hurt for like a month, fuck dat shit.
>>37156895
sheet I squat 5 plate. 2.5 plate bench. my excuse? tore my rotator cuff playing football. play d1 football they said. it will be fun they said.
don't let your sons play football.
>>37157874
Are you trolling? Learn to read
>>37157888
is your form bad?
>>37157863
>>37157874
>>37157902
CASE IN FUCKING POINT JUST USE NUMBERS
>>37157863
Or maybe newfags should lurk more
1pl8 is a 45 pound/20 kilo plate each side plus a 45 lb/20 kilo bar
>>37157888
lower back pain in dl? fucked up form
thigh joints hurt? I don't have a joint in my thigh. can't advise.
>>37157915
but 60% of people here get it wrong anyway so when the majority are retarded it makes it hard to tell
>>37157925
The joint that connects your thigh to your ass, smartass.
>>37157931
your hip?
>>37157936
No dude. I think he means waste
>>37157944
It connects to your poophole?
>>37157902
Shit, my bad.
>>37157944
as in waist?
>tfw hit 1pl8 The Press and bench at the same time
>>37157944
He literally described his hip.
>>37158104
tfw shit ohp. Stalled at 95 and hit 100lbs. probably shit form. Reading SS still. I enjoy eating everything in my fucking path and lifting heavy. Plus squats have boosted my test I've been feeling really fucking angry lately.
Ive seen a guy benching 3pl8 but ive only ever seen someone squat 2pl8
Where do you fucks lift? I lift in a commercial gym, the most commercialised in my country and there's about 5 people that squat 2pl+ at the times I'm there I know off
>>37156815
why is she fat
>see absolute dyels who look like twigs bench 2 plates for reps
What the fuck man
>>37156815
You must go to the Y or some community rec centre gym or something OP. People are stronger than that even at most chain gyms I've been to
>>37156815
Im in the top 8% at my local gym where I live but Im completely shit tier at my uni gym.
>tfw joined the 2pl8 squat club ATG
>Bench 150
>OHP 105
>On the brightside pendlay row 1pl8+
>What did I do to deserve these shit chest genetics
>>37159426
Genetics yo
>>37156877
I was benching over 1pl8 2 months into going to the gym as a teenager. Squatting 2 pl8 (properly) took a lot longer.
>>37156815
I can only squat 2 pl8 for 2 more reps than I can bench 2pl8
Fite me
