why aren't you benching 2pl8s ?
>>37251150
Not a deload week.
Because I'm only benching 1pl8
>>37251154
homeboy
Just started lifting seriously about 3 months ago, been skelly my whole life so I'm starting from the ground up
Plus I'm 6'4" and do full rom so that's a lot of distance to push
>>37251154
This tbqh
>lift for 5 months
>barely hit and maintain 1plate sind i started cutting 2 months ago
>NEVER seen anyone bench 2plate
>its considered "beginner" status here
hmmm
what could it possibly mean
>>37251210
That most people don't take lifting serious? Go to any powerlifting/oly gym and it will be a completely different story.
>>37251150
flat barbell bench press is a meme
>>37251150
I'm 152 pounds and struggling to bench 1plate for reps. Is this normal? Having such a hard time progressing -.-
>>37251150
Did 92.5kg for 5x5 yesterday. I'll be at lmao2pl8 5x5 in a couple weeks
>doing benchpress
Embarassing
>>37251154
First post best post
>>37251210
Height, weight, age?
I'm bench pressing 1pl8 after two months, 1.83 86 kg 23 yo
>>37251210
that you are a weak as shit faggot
>lift for 5 months
kinda saves you
>>37251150
>tfw no black fuzzy hair gf
>>37251150
2 months in all hard cutting got muh 70 3x5 worksets already
i'll hit that 2plate before the year is out famalam
CUZ I CANT, OK!? I JUST CANT!
>>37251325
I wish it was so. If you and Mehdi were correct and I'd stuck with SL, I'd have been shitting all over Spoto's world record for 5x5 about now.
>>37251632
It's never implied the rate of progression lasts forever.
And you know, people are different. Just because your genes are shit and you stalled on 1pl8 doesn't mean everyone will.
>>37251150
I do bench 2pl8s. But only for a 3x5.
>lesadfrog
>>37251154
fpbp
>>37251210
You literally think 2pl8 isnt a beginner bench?
>>37251668
he also thinks everyone in here is lying
Because I don't bench anymore. Benching is for dudebros, fat powerlifter and gay bodybuilders.
>>37251729
so what are you? ;o
>>37251736
a crossfitter and runner
>>37251150
I use dumbells instead of a bar. Bar benching feels like I'm pushing with my shoulders instead of squeezing with my chest
>>37251783
so a cardiofag
>>37251784
>The bench press is a chest exercisw
>>37251178
Are you me? Same height and same bench. Literally no one I see at my gym uses full rom, especially on incline bench, and it's still rare to see anyone going over 2pl8s.
>>37251292
Just stick with it man, consistency
>>37251783
So you're a faggot. I had my suspicions.
b-but i can get it for a single. im only 160 lbs. can i be part of the club yet?????
70kg 3x5 here. Lifting inconsistently for around 7 months. The only people I see bench 2pl8 are fat guys or guys who have clearly been lifting for a long time. Don't believe/fit/ memes.
>hurt my tendon doing bench
>can't do more than 1pl8
>>37251784
If you have any interest in barbell benching, I'd recommend you pick up a Slingshot and a light resistance band.
I found it pretty much impossible to bench in a way that hurt my shoulders with a Slingshot, and once you get the form down with that, you will find it easier to bench properly without one too.
>>37251262
>>37251483
>>37251668
He's implying you're all fat fucks. I'll add: dumb fucks.
225 is a lot of weight to bench with good form and full ROM for anyone not used to pushing that much just to get out of bed every morning. It's by no means beginner weight.
>>37251935

You seem upset. Relax. I'm sure your obesity is genetic ;^)
>>37251150
WHODISIZ
>>37252218
Do you call everyone with better genetic makeup fat to cope with your inferiority?
Because exercising feels bad and sucks
not too serious about diet, bad genetics, maybe not efficient form
but im still getting better and actually am pretty close
>>37252191
It's not beginner, but nothing impressive either. Just kind of out of dyel if you weigh less than 90 kilos.
>>37252191
>225 is a lot of weight to bench with good form and full ROM for anyone not used to pushing that much just to get out of bed every morning
You faggots will hate on anything. Do you have even the faintest idea how fucking long it took me to weave a lead chainmail blanket you fucking bitter cunt I fucking swear I'll sock you in the gabber you cheeky fucking bag of of cunt.
>Bench 2 plate
>Shoulder joints literally explode
>Try dumbbells 45kg x12
>No pain whatsoever
I showed my friends (powerlifters) my form and they said it was fine, I have very bad bone genetics I think. I've had back issues since I was 17. Don't want to injure myself so I just do dumbbells.
>>37251210
literally bench 2pl8x8 and i'm a fuckboy dyel by /fit/ standards
>>37252321
Your health is more important than some silly number. Do whatever works for you and don't feel bad about it.
>>37252232
It's not a contest, for me. I know a lot of guys lift heavier than me right now and I'm not fussed about it. I'm not an ego lifter.
"Better genetic makeup" is a funny way to say "I literally can't stop eating whoppers and exert my own gravitational pull." Make peace with your sorry excuse for a body and stop hating. You'll make it eventually.
>>37252253
This may surprise you, but not everybody on /fit/ is preoccupied with impressing other people, especially with e-stats.
>>37252321
45kg x 12 is pretty damn impressive imo
>>37252467
addendum: I'm impressed by anyone and everyone who can lift more than me. That's how you should be.
>>37252453
where does the assumption that I'm fat come from? do you think being fat gives people strength?
>>37252510
>do you think people that move more weight are bigger than people who move less weight?
Yes. You haven't denied it either. It's okay that you're a lard. Don't be so defensive, but don't act superior either.
Because I don't warmup.
>>37252550
so according to you, fat moves weight?
>>37251150
because I only have one arm
>>37252567
Just admit it. Embrace the fat.
Fat is heavy. Moving heavy weight requires strength. Why do you think hamplanets have such a high starting squat?
I know you know all this. You're just being purposely evasive and dense because it bothers you that somebody on the internet read you like a book. You'll get over it in time, but this damage control won't help.
People who think a 2 plate bench is godlike or difficult to achieve are usually doing one of two things, but sometimes both: They're not eating enough and are skeletons or they don't train properly(not enough frequency/volume/proper progressive overload).
All my friends can bench 2 plate and have been training for 8-14 months while I can bench 330lbs with just over a year of training. You motherfuckers are just weak as shit. Natty too. Tell me I'm e-statting weaklings.
>>37251150
My bench has never gone up ever...i have same bench as when i was fucking 16... no idea whats wrong with me.. i do it twice a weeek too... stuck at 185
>>37252654
What's your routine?
>inb4 5 different variations for 10-15 reps each
>>37252647
shutup fatty
>>37252676
its a modified texas method.. i bench heavy on monday and to volume on friday
3 sets of 5 on monday and 5 sets of 10 on friday
>>37252605
m8, I'm 90kg @ 6'2, stop trying
Being fat doesn't automatically make you bench more, stop justifying your lackluster performance
>>37252691
you bench 185 and you only bench 3x5 once a week?
>>37252691
>5 sets of 10 on friday
Why don't you just run the actual Texas Method program? You literally cut the heavy day where you test your max out, aka, the whole point of the program.
If you want your bench to go up train within a lower rep range and get more volume in that way. You're barely putting any volume within the >=85% range and expect your strength to go up? Like seriously, 3x5 once per week at maybe 80% is god awful.
>>37252691
Also, if you're going to run texas method, replace the OHP days with bench days. That way you're benching 3 times per week.
>>37252725
yeah i'm retarded.. thank you for the advice though.. i will definitely do that
>>37252741
I OHP and Bench on the same days my ohp is up to 135 but i bench after which also may be the problem.
>>37251150
Because I bench 3 plates.
For reps.
>>37251210
yeah, at a commercial gym 2pl8+ bench is rather rare but i do see people who push it every once in a while. but 2pl8 isn't super advanced like you're making it seem
most people can achieve a 225lb 1rm within 1.5 years (and im being generous here, more like 1 yr).
>>37252752
>OHP and bench on the same days
Come on man. You really have no idea why you're stalling?
Bench 3 times per week within 80-90% of your 1RM using pic related.
>>37252699
>anyone who lifts less than me is lackluster
>anyone who lifts more than me is unimpressive
You say you're 6'2", but you act like you're 5'2". 90 kg is at the cusp of overweight for your height, btw.
Cuz im benching 3. :D
>>37252810
>90 kg is at the cusp of overweight for your height, btw.
>90kg for 6'2 male has BMI of 25.4
>0.4 BMI points above overweight
>BMI doesn't account for muscle mass
>other guy is clearly more muscular than the average man if he can bench 225lbs+
You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here aren't you. Like not even that guy but you sound butthurt and jealous as fuck.
>>37252810
>anyone who lifts more than me is fat
>anyone who says I'm weak must be short
And what standard is that? BMI? you know it's used for normie non-lifters, right?
i'd love to see the pictures of people saying they're benching 2-3 plates, this entire thread is literally almost nothing but people e-statting but there's only 3 images
never take advice from anybody on this board without pictures to prove they know their shit or facts to back their up
>>37252939
This is me and I bench over 3plate.
>>37252191
literally only weaklings say this shit
My chest is already over-developed. Working on upper back for correct posture
>>37252955
Everybody who benches 3 plates is either going to look like this, or be a lying DYEL. This thread is mostly the latter.
>>37252939
>>37252191
Why is 225 or 315 such a grandiose lift for you that you assume estatting? Like seriously? Any decently fed and disciplined adult male can hit 225 bench in a year. 225 really is not that amazing,
>>37253053
why is it so hard for you to post a pic? like seriously?
>>37252939
people that bench 2pl8s don't look much different from people that bench 1pl8
sorry if you thought you'd instantly become a monster once you hit 2pl8
>>37253066
im not the ones you have previously replied to.
>>37251150
I'm only 10lb away from 2pl8 for 5x5, liftin' since January.
It's the last of the 1/2/3/4pl8 I need to hit, and that day will be so fucking glorious.
My friends think I'm being silly bulking in the summer but I really couldn't give a fuck. Would rather have strong lifts as opposed to visible abs.
>>37252955
i wanna kiss you haha no homo

Does that mean I look good or are you calling me a fat fuck like that other guy?

>>37253136
you keep avoiding the question because you can't actually bench even 1 pl8 and you look like shit
>>37253053
>225 is so easy to bench! All it takes is 12 months of intense progressive overload and a disciplined diet on top of everything else life requires of you!
Nobody is saying 225 is grandiose or godly. Some people are, realistically, acknowledging it's not a beginner weight: nothing more, nothing less. Listen to yourself. If something takes a year of hard work and serious discipline to achieve, it is by definition not something easily accomplished by a beginner.
>>37253104
great arms but we need to be real, you're kind a fat
>>37253153
I'm not that guy, but how is posting a pic proving anything if a person benching 2pl8 looks similar to a person benching 1pl8?
>>37253154
>lifting for 1 year

What has fit become
>>37253157
>kind of fat
>no more than 15%BF
You motherfuckers really are deluded, aren't you? That body dysmorphia strong.
>>37253178
you know when you're a skeletron with le epic metabolism genetics anything over 8% is fat, and 225 benches doesnt matter when you're over said fat percentage.
>>37253178
What do you expect, they are noobs who think they will look like jeff soon enough.
In all honesty thought, that guy is probably slightly more than 15%
>>37253162
If you lift seriously for a full year, you're an intermediate lifter by the end of it. Beginner means "at the beginning."
>>37253157
i could do 2pl8x5 when i was leaner (pic), chubby now because it's my first time committing to a bulk and i've put on the weight too quickly
5 clean reps too, no bouncing, grinding or spotter assistance.
>>37251150
Because I train for hypertrophy, not strength
>>37253195
first year literally is the fucking beginning, people who dont half ass their training will easily train 10-15 years
>>37251275
Nice meme.
>>37253198
>implying they dont compliment eachother and is a shit excuse to not bench easy beginner weights
>>37253099
adding 10lbs on your 5x5 is like adding 25lb on your 1RM, not to mention bench progression is the slowest of the compound lifts
>>37253161
post pic
>>37253206
What is intermediate, to you? 10-15 years to graduate from "beginner" is beyond deluded.
Benching 2 plates I think is still a pretty good achievement. I read an article that about 12% of the world male populated can max out at 225 or above and about 50% of routine lifters can 1RM it. I achieved 225 senior year in high school. Before I graduated I got 225 for 17 reps but my 1RM wasn't very high (270). Started lifting seriously 6 months ago and my strength never really went away, did 225x10 yesterday. I'm the guy with weak legs cause I think achieving 3 plates is god like and seems really hard to achieve, the most I ever squatted in high school was 290 and I got 225x2 yesterday. I never dead lifted ever in my life and just started a month ago and yesterday got 275 for 5 reps and 305 for 1. I guess some people are stronger in different areas
>>37251150
Because I'm benching 3pl8.
>>37253222
you post pic of your ripped 1pl8 bench bod
>>37251150
I'm working on it sempai. 40lbs away.
>>37253197
way better than before
I hope being short doesn't stop you from reaching your goals
>>37253225
i would say intermediate is 2-4 years depending on your lifts
>>37253236
continue avoiding posting proof because you look like shit and lift like shit
>>37253232
Your legs are weak because you're a pussy about training them
>>37253232
>225 for 17

What the actual fuck? I can bench well over 300 but don't think I could do 17 reps with 225.

>305 dl
Come on, man.
>>37253232
now imagine where would you be in regards to strength if you put some effort in it
>>37253251
alright, i will be the one not being a pussy about it.
I squat 485, deadlift 505 and bench 315, and i will admit. I am fat, and i am working on it. Lost 25 pounds the last 7 weeks.
Now lets see you, friend.
this is now YLYL thread
>>37253268
>can bench over 300
>can only squat 2 rep lmao2pl8
kek
>>37253308
Those aren't my lifts, moron. They're his.
Like my squat and deadlift aren't much better(350squat, 435dl), but I have a good excuse at least(injuries).
>>37253308
what does my faith have to do with this?
>>37251210
it's intermediate and you clearly go to a gym full of scrubs, but there is admittedly a huge amount of e-statting on /fit/
Skeleton never posted pic of himself but demanded i post mine? Cant say im surprised.
Because I'm on the toilet.

>bodies get posted
>weakfags go silent
come on weakfags, where are you?
>>37253258
No not really. I train legs three times a week in high school. We did squats just as much as bench. My legs just didn't grow as fast. No I train legs twice a week, doing leg press 3x10(at 3 plates now) leg curls 2x12, calve press 3x8, leg extension 2x12, and squat 5x5(been stuck at 185 for three weeks now).
>>37251783
I laughed really hard at that. Now gtfo.
>>37253268
It was weird, my endurance was really good, 225 just didn't start feeling difficult until the 14/15 rep but I couldn't get up 2.5 plates to save my life. With squats I could get 225 for 10 reps but struggled. I hope my squat and dead will go up cause I'm training hard
>>37253040
I just benched 3 plates Last week. I'll post the GIF in a second.
Natty, 6'0 180lbs, Lifting 2.5 years.

>>37253603
>touch and go
>>37253546
Leg press don't mean shit. I can leg press 1100 but I can't even squat 3pl8. I hate myself for even even trying the leg press, because it let me avoid the squat and DL. Now I'm a faggot and want to slit my wrists on my stats.
>>37253616
fuck off m8
3pl8 is amazing
>>37253624
Tfw i leg press only 100 pounds more than I squat
>>37253616
>Touch and go is bad
Man don't those bodybuilders know that they are benching wrong? At a competition that would never pass, and everyone knows that powerlifting is all that matters. It's not like someone can be strong and just not care about powerlifting.
I can't wait until I get by spine curved so that I can bench 400 with proper form without having to move my arms.
>>37253603
>>37253538
Made a bit of progress since, but haven't bothered with a new pic. Maybe today.
>>37253616
Oh, fit, where touching chest isn't good enough.
>>37253654
Thanks man. I was super pumped to nail it :).
>>37253674
Don't fucking do it breh, because you'll start leg pressing more and more and it'll be impressive to everyone... that is until you put yourself under a bar. Save yourself before it's too late.
Pic related. Fake reason I told myself to not SQ or DL.
>>37253749
I hate leg pressing and love squatting, so I won't fuck up.
Why were you making Shit excuses ?
>>37253624
>legpress 1100lbs and can't squat 315lbs
>sin(45) * (1100/2.2046) * 9.81 = 4164N, 45 degrees assumed for leg press machine
>(315/2.2046) * 9.81 = 1401N
>4164N/1401N = 2.97
>2.97 times more force exerted on the incline if ROM is the same
>assuming half the ROM on legpress as on squat, still 1.487 times more force exerted if doing exercise correctly
Ask me how I know your ROM on the leg press is complete shit and you more than likely can't even hit 700lbs on it with decent ROM.
>>37253754
Mainly because my core and legs have always been week and I'm a faggot that hates the possibility of failure.
5 years ago I was lifting with a new partner squatting and then at the top pressing the bar and coming back down.
>bar came down too hard on spine
>back has hurt ever since
>too afraid to get it checked
I user this as the excuse to never SQ or DL and I have paid for it.
>mfuckingfw I started SQ and DL a few weeks ago because I want to improve, have been making noob gains and my lower back is pretty much fine. I get LB doms, but that's just because my form is shitty after not doin it for so long.
>>37253287
>and i will admit. I am fat,
No shit, you look like the fucking pillsbury doughboy
>>37253844
The bar came down too hard on your spine doing squats? What?
>>37253836
I'll take your word for it. Sure thing boss.
>>37253854
Hey, at least I'm not delusional
>>37253863
Sorta. We would squat, but at the top of the squat we would OHP. Like a compound lift.
I was being dumb and not thinking, just trying to fit in because I can't ever find a lift partner and I didn't want to lift alone.
I weigh 165 and do 225 3x3 and it feels heavy as fuck. Idk about all you dudes who say it's beginner weight but it's not really
>>37252955
ha dude you look like absolute garbage
>>37253892
Why didn't you just do ohps after squats...?
>>37253897

Who we talking bout
>>37251210
This board really likes to insult and insinuate much heavier weights are easier to achieve than they might actually be. People treat like a 3 plate deadlift should be achievable in months and a 2-3 plate squat is the same.
People are gonna progress at their own rates and that's not taking into consideration the imbalances people will have or develop from not training properly for the first while, which many dont.
>>37253909
Looking back, it's fucking obvious. I don't even remember what we were warming up for.
I just remember it was the dumbest thing I've ever done in the gym.
>>37253945
>People treat like a 3 plate deadlift should be achievable in months and a 2-3 plate squat is the same.
unless you're anorexic to begin with there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't reach these lifts in 12 months
>>37253971
This
>>37251150
My max bench is 170 for 5 and I started cutting a few days ago. Bench ain't gonna get any stronger till next bulk.

anyone else been lifting for a long time (3+ years) and still dont bench 2 plates?
i have never run a strength program and dont have a lifting partner which makes me feel too self-conscious to try heavier weight on a bar because i have no one to lift it off of me. i usually just dick around with the 90 dumbbells
>>37254700

i started really low. 65 pounds, yes, sixty-five for a few reps. 135 was a goal that took me a year to get to.

people who start out and bench a plate the first day should really check their genetic privilege

This is accurate. I bench 355 which is extremely mediocre in powerlifting. The reason normies have so much trouble getting to 225 is because they don't train like powerlifters.

>>37254876
it doesn't matter how low you start
if you're not retarded and follow an actual program you would hit 135 within a few months

what kind of program would you recommend someone who has been running bro split for 3 years?
im like 3/4 of the way through a cut right now but when im ready to bulk up i want to try something different
>>37254912
it's pathetic really how you are even unable to prove my statement false
I can bench 2 pm8 for one rep, is that good?? I can only squat 2 pl8 for 3 reps they call me skips mclegday

I don't see the problem. If you ever want to lift for strength, there's no reason you couldn't follow a strength program by doing DB presses instead of BP. A 1RM DB press is just as impressive as a 1RM BP. Carry on.
>>37252691
Follow something simpler and more fun like the Juggernaut 2.0.
>>37252790
So 1.5pl8 after 12 weeks is ok?
>>37254970
There's so many different types of training that it depends on how you like to train. Do you like something working up to a heavy single then doing volume, try an RTS program, do you like doing shit tons of sets at medium-ish intensity, try sheiko, there's so many to pick from just look on some site that has a repository of programs. Tons of methods work, there is no "best", what matters most is how you like the training style.
>>37255101
well what i usually do now is go in, do a warm up set, then slowly ramp up to heavy weight, do a set of like 5, then ramp all the way back down and do high reps
i like to feel really pumped at the end of my workouts
i have never attempted a max on any lift in my life
>>37255114
Well, going to the gym and doing stuff unplanned isn't terrible, but usually the problem is you lack some form of progression, I wasted a shit ton of time doing this too and not really progressing very much. Having some structure to your program that regulates the volumes you do over time or some metric to progress may not be noticeable day to day but over weeks you'll see you're doing quite a bit more weight.
Just do some research and find a method you like and that you can handle.

You realize 90% of men in the world can't bench 225 with proper form? Don't feel bad if you guys dont hit that yet. Be glad that you are improving yourself.

Which exercises should I do to die in horrible pain?
>>37251150
You know I worked on my arch and being explosive. Within a month I went from a 180 bench to a 205 bench. I'm 6'8 and have a 3pl8 squat and a 4pl8 dead and a 1pl8 ohp so I'm sure 225 is in me I just gotta arch and widen my grip to compensate for my huge ass wingspan

Thank you gigaSatan
>>37252321
Dont worry man, do the DB's for now. Just get more iron, zinc, and vitamin D-3 in your diet and see if theres a change when you retry bench in a month.
>>37251150
Can bench 2pl8 for 3 rep :^)

>>37252191
Beginner weight is a stretch sure, but 225 for a single rep is not anything special. I think for a normal person after a year of lifting it is a very reasonable number
