>can ohp 55lb dbs
>can't even bench 1 plate because my chest is so weak and my shoulders feel like they're getting put into a car crusher whenever I bench
You're the definition of fuckboy.

1 plate is 90lbs, right ?
So what's the matter ?
>I can't bench over twice my OHP
no shit
I literally don't believe you
>>36547604
1plate is 135 lbs
i tried 55lbs db shoulder press after triceps workout only shit i was shaking
Are you retracting your meme-ula and forcing your traps into the bench before lifting the bar off the rack? And make sure your elbows aren't at 90° from your torso.
Also having a tough time believing you're OHPing 55lb DB on each side without being near a 1pl8 bench.
>>36547604
no it's 135 (the bar is 45 as well)
>>36547584
you have shit form if your shoulders feel like they're getting crushed
all the little guys at my gym bench fucking 95 lbs don't be too worried
>>36547584
>dbs
D-does this mean one 55lb dumbbell per hand, or 55lb total?

dudes I'm being 100% serious
I talked to a big ass powerlifter and he said my bench form was perfect, tucked elbows, retracted scapula, everything perfect
I had to do the roll of shame on a 1 plate bench last week on the 2nd rep and then proceeded to ohp the 55s for 8 reps
>tucked elbows
m8 they're supposed to be 45-60 degrees you're probably overtucking
if you bring the bar to the sternum you're probably not overextending, but you're almost certainly underextending

how much do you weigh? Its hard to help you if we don't know what we're dealing with.
>>36547584
bench lower on your chest if you're getting pinched shoulders
it isn't a strict up/down movement
>>36547950
Will try thx brah.
>>36547961
160
Don't sweat it numbers mean nothing. Everyone is built different and muscle distribution can wildly vary.
I bench 25kg at 75kg body weight. I don't feel weak

Basically in order to increase any lift is to do 1 of two things.
1. Add variations of bench (incline, paused bench, or close grip) at the end of your workout and make it around 70-80% of your max bench.
2. Instead of alternating with OHP, just do bench 2 times a week. i.e. Bench, OHP, Bench
>>36548589
I do a push pull split 4 days a week
Thanks. I think I will start doing paused close grip to build up that triceps strength and then possibly incline dB press for chest, how does that sound?
niggaz i weigh fuckin 54 and im doin more than that
skinnyboiiz are the way
