Hey /fit/, how long did it take you guys to reach 2/3/4 plates?
>>37244417
like, 1.5 years.
>>37244417
>>37244480
I mean, they are beginner lifts.
From age 14 to 19.
>>37245602
Same. Tfw lifting before puberty
I should be able to hit those for 5 reps in about 4 more months. I've been lifting for 4 months at the moment so in total it will take me around 8 months, give or take a month or two depending on how well progression keeps up.
5'10 85kg atm and bulking
I can hit those for reps fairly easily, main thing that held me back was dieting right, prolly could've hit it way sooner if I wasn't spinning the wheels constantly and worried about getting fat. Took about 1.5 years for me but I could see it being done with consistent training and diet in about 8-9 months.
>>37246272
It'd be cool if you could do it, but there's a huge difference between getting linear gains non-stop from 0 plate to 1.5 plate vs. 1.5 plate to 3 plate. Don't get discouraged when you don't hit it in four months though. You'll make it eventually.
>>37244480
>>37244489
>>37245602
Yes, I'll admit that I can't lift as much weight as you can.
Glad to hear you find it easy. I spent my teenage years fucking hot underage girls, playing guitar like a master, organizing charity events, going to interesting places with friends, saving money, and studying hard so I could actually accomplish something in my life.
While a lot of guys developed muscles, I developed my social and artistic skills and then, because of all that book learnin' and saving I did, I went on to university.
I didn't have time to lift weights, play sports, etc.
I do have time to get fit now that I'm an adult, except the difference is that I have a huge network of friends, contacts, an education, and a lifetime of good experiences, rather than just spending my best years in a musty workout room, and in a couple years I'll be more fit than most of the people who took the other route, since they seem to mostly end up working shitty jobs in construction, policing, etc and eventually letting themselves go.
I suppose what I'm saying is: Fuck you. I can only bench 1 plate, right now, but I can LIFE way fucking harder than most of you faggots ever will, and those gains don't go away after you've got them.
>>37246469
We don't care you fucking faggot
>>37246272
Why are you bulking? At that height 85kg is fucking fat. Also you are confusing your noob gains for normal progress
>>37246469
holy shit the autism
>>37246469
None of this autistic pasta
>>37244417
took me 4 1/2 months. Hope to look like a sick cunt after my cut next month.
5 reps
OHP 1pl8
Bench 2pl8
>>37246529
fucking lol i can't even bench 1 plate and look better than you
Why the fuck would someone who does 2/3/4 be posting on 4chan
>>37246529
>That chest
>2 pl8
>>37246469
until you die
but hey at least our corpses will be shredded
>>37246529
damn son u look like you struggle to break 2 pl8 diddies. Id rather be you than me though, people ask me if I bench 3 pl8 cause im so swole and I can barely hit 2pl8 once.
About three days. I'm currently lifting tectonic plates on tuesdays.
>>37246565
Yeah, maybe I need to focus on hypertrophy. That said, I think your full of shit. Post a pic of your body, bitch boy.
>>37246590
No diddie or squat area in my gym. I supplement with leg presses and rows, but I probably would struggle with 2pl8 diddies. Forgot to mention I'm 5'11 163lbs.
>>37246582
?
it's like you're not natty or still a noob
>>37246616
>>37246529
lol i think it's time for me to leave fit if it's filled with ppl like this
I hit 300 bench at the 3.25 year mark. Hit 400 at like 2.
185 OHP around the same time as bench.
>>37246664
what's your height + weight + howlongliftin? Not gonna lie you look good, so I take that bitch boy comment back.
>>37246469
never seen this pasta: 2/10
>>37246678
what type of people should it be filled with?
>>37246664
you have some sort of physical defect like all your muscles being inflated or being 120 lbs or something if you look like that and seriously can't bench a plate.
>>37246713
He's just lean+angles+lighting, and probably overstating to make people even more jealous.
>>37246469
4/10 you clearly put some effort in but it's lacking panache
>>37246664
>this guy basically doesnt even bench and looks like this
>>37246529
>this guy benches 2 pl8 and looks like this
Bench really is a meme folks. Better off with dumbbells flies and incline holy crap. Also dude everyones ragging on you look fine and youll make it. Just add more volume and skip the barbell bench
>>37246713
I just do dips, high rep dumbell presses and cable flies
>>37244417
6 months
>>37246529
It's ok bro. I bench 250 and look like shit compared to you.
At once I hate /fit/ for constantly e-statting, but also love that at least people try and lift.
While I've been lifting seriously for 6 years (barring 2.5 months for basic), my diet has always been shit.
It took me 3 years to hit 225 Bench for 5 reps. I'm still only at 285 for 5 right now.
I hit 315 squat within 8 months. I'm at 365x5 right now but I am disabled after my deployment. My highest was 415x5. Maybe I'll get back up there
My Deadlift is 405x12. I use chalk and no belt.
My Overhead press is 225x5.
And literally very few people in my gym are stronger without obviously being on roids.
You fuckers fail to realize that 2/3/4 is like top 5% of the planets population (thanks to india and china distorting the numbers)
>>37246848
thanks, man. Have you ever tried cutting? I'm hoping that will make a difference. I'm hovering around 17% body fat and definition is obscured. Dropping to 10-12% will help me figure it out.
>>37246880
I like you your the coolest guy in here
>>37246880
>OHP 2 plate for reps
>can only bench 285
what wizardry is this
>>37246880
>My Deadlift is 405x12. I use chalk and no belt.
why do you cap your deadlift at 4pl8 if you hit is for so many godamn reps? wouldn't it be safer to do clean singles at 4.5pl8?
>>37246379
I'm at 205 bench, 290 squat 350 deadlift for 5 reps. I think I got it desu
>>37246880
>405x12
what the fuck why would you go for so many reps on DL?
>>37246936
Rehab. my hip and left quad is fucked, as well as my left shoulder. I single sometimes but I max out at 495x1
>>37244417
Because I was fucking around so badly it took like 3 years to get 2/3/4 from when I started.
1 year from there to get 3 / 4 / 5
1 year from there to get 3.5 / 5 / 6
1 year from there to get 4 / 5.75 / 6.5
In 2 weeks I will be attempting 4 / 6 / 7 in competition, wish me luck brehs.
>>37246469
btfo faggot
how can someone this 'well-adjusted' and 'successful' be possibly this mad? Youre gonna blow up at work and get fired fgt.

>>37246897
man i think my insertions are similar to his; i've had to build my front delts so fucking much to get 2 plate bench for like 2 shitty reps
I can OHP plate+25 and dumbell 80s
Took me just under 2 years to get to 2.75/3/4. Bench is a meme lift, and i kinda doubt i will ever hit a 2 plate ohp.
But i am fat as fuck so
>>37246936
Not everyone is on SS still faggot
>>37246469
Never gonna make it.
>2pl8 bench

>>37247094
>Not everyone is on SS still faggot
just curious, king dicksuck of the cumguz people
>>37246582
I lift 3pl8m8 and my chest is pure shit
If you want big chest do db bench with full range of motion, inclines and flies, barbell bench with a huge arch won't give you shit
>>37245602
started lifting at 14 with calisthenics, got 1/2/3/4 for 3 reps at age 16
>>37247087
Why is your squat so shit compared to your bench?
Please enlighten me, I'm on the same boat and same lifts as you
>>37246664
I really struggle you can't bench 1pl8... Have you just never tried?
>>37247485
oh wait i fucked up 2.75/4/5. my bench is pretty shit.
like 2/3 years desu
im 20 btw, reached it at 19
>mfw I OHP'd 1 plate
Wow, that felt so damn good.
but my 1/2/3/4 is lacking
>1pl8 OHP
>2.5pl8 DL
>2pl8 bench
>2pl8 squat
I just need to attempt heavier weight, I plateau if I keep staying at one weight even if it feels heavy
>>37244417

Assuming you're not a fag and you mean for Bench/Squat/DL
>>37247839
>2pl8 bench
>2.5pl8 deadlift
Oh shit nigger what are you doing
I'll never hit a 2pl8 bench or 4pl8 dead and I'm fine with that.
>>37247876
I dunno brah. I think it's because I have SUPER skinny chicken legs. And my upper body is not bad
It's very unfortunate
>>37247904
Why not?

1/2/3/4 ohp/bench/skwat/diddy are my end of year goals.
Been lifting for around 4.5 months and am currently at 42.5 ohp, 65 bench, 105 skwat, 115 diddy. for those faggots who use pounds, 1/2/3/4 plates is 60/100/140/180kg respectively.
>>37244417
1 year lifting and still not close. At least I look like I can hit 2/3/4. 90% of people I see in the gym putting up those numbers look like they don't even lift. Don't fall for the strength = size meme. You won't be aesthetic the second you hit 2/3/4

Guy at my gym, works at produce wholesale centre. Never went to the gym in his life.
I bring him in once for fun, he hits 2/3/5/6.
Not even IPL mode, closer to zyzz mode
>>37248300
>Never went to the gym in his life.
>overhead press 100kg
things that never happened
>>37248331
He works 12 hours loading and unloading sacks of potatoes and shit, each sack is 100 pounds.
>>37248331
He's a plus-size ballet dancer in his spare time. When he's not at work, he's lifting fat girls over his head.
>>37248349
100 pounds is 40kg.
100kg is 2.5 times that.you're full of shit.
>>37246529
Elliot was right, DUMBBELLS build a bigger CHEST so unless you want to have a SMALL CHEST do DUMBBELL FLIES.
>>37248360
Uhh I used to work part time there, so do you know each loading dock has a quota of 500 sacks an hour between 3 workers? No cats or forklifts, and the stuff has to be carried over a distance of 30 feet?
>>37248245
>>37248259
>>37248274
Are you ever going to tell us how close we are?
>>37248259
I dumbbell press 45 lbs, so that one is right
>>37248274
Bench 170 3x5, ~205 1rm
Front squat 150 4x6, 190 1rm
Deadlift 230 4x8, 295 1rm
In pounds
>>37244417
REMINDER: its 1/2/3/4 gvt, if you cant do it gvt, you are NOT at 1/2/3/4
>>37247963
Because I'm 10% bodyfat at 165lbs and it's not currently aligned with my goals. Can't afford to put on more muscle or I'll get knocked out of my weight class.
>>37248496
GVT is fucking dumb
That being said I could do this gvt
I would like to give it a go doing hard mode gvt, 4 sets of 25. I know bench and deads would be fine but squats would probably gas me and ohp would be fucking tough for 25 reps.
REMINDER
If you can't do 1/2/3/4 both normal GVT (10x10) and HARD MODE GVT (4x25), you should be DELIVERING PIZZA
>>37248540
Max Bench is 190 5rm and Diddly is 325rm. Squat used to be 350 2years ago before I stopped squatting and was 220lbs, ended up being a decent trade-off.
>>37246469
Go back to redit u fucking fag
>pic related
>>37247839
Read about progressive overload.
>>37244417
>205 bench easily
>245×3 squat while stuggling
Why /fit/? I dont even care for bench. It just goes up. My squats on the other hand suck. I just wanna squat 3pl8 ATG.
>>37248712
I'm always baffled how easily some people progress on bench, considering your chest is typically the weakest muscle group coming in as untrained and the bench is the most technical out of the big 3. I fucking blame my 78in wingspan, fuck my life.
>>37248765
I always liked training chest in general and easily do high volume on chest.
It is both a blessing and a curse.
>>37248765
im slowly closing in on 3 plate and i find my bench kinda just makes jumps here and there. Its never really constant progress like i jumped from not being able to hit 115 to benching 120 within like a month and a bit.
>>37248765
Short arms help yeah
Guy I train with has the longest wingspan I have ever seen his bench is 130kg and his deadlift is 330kg lol.
Meanwhile I have short arms and I have benched 190kg but deadlift is 280.
>>37248956
We have similar strength levels everywhere so it is interesting to see how limb length changes what you are better at
>>37246955
roughly the same I think. I dont remember when I hit 225 bench, 315 squat and 4 plate dead, I just remember all of a sudden I could do it. Then about 2 years out of college I am at 325 bench, 405 squat ( prob should be alot higher, hip problem, and 515 DL. Been to busy lately tho to try to gain, been just getting fatter and fatter
>>37246469
Decent pasta/10
>>37247839
i have a shit lower body too
65x5 ohp
105x5 bench
115x5 squat
150x5 ded
>>37244417
Like a year and a half at 160.
>>37249077
Damn dude I feel you, I had a year off with a herniated disc but I was a retard and kept eating like I was training, gained too much fat.
I want to pull 700 before I cut but it is taking so long to get there so I'm questioning myself
>>37248248
I'm balding. I'm self conscious about it. I wear a beanie 99% of the time. But never at the gym. Never ever at the fucking gym.
>>37246486
I was about to call you a dyel faggot, but then realized you were talking to a novice.
>>37244417
did 2plate bench for 7reps on first day, probably cuz i have 10inch thick wrists and when i started out i weighed around 240lbs
I think around 15 months for 3plate squats for reps
definelty 2 whole years for 4plate deadlifts for 5reps double overhand
>>37246469
Wow, defensive much?
I guess the jocks must have raped you in the PE shower room or something in middle school.
>>37249141
>Not just shaving it off and owning the look.
Nigga, do you even make it?
>>37246807
What is your flat dumbbell bench?
I can do 3x8x60lb dumbbells but I think I'm 6 months from looking like you.
>>37244417
like seven months.
i got to 4 plate squat first then deadlift and first day was able to bench 2 plates.
6'3" 210 lbs right now.
>>37247087
how do i not end up like this with good lifts and ugly
>>37249438
don't bulk as hard as i did, i went from 76kg and about 15% to like 95 and a bit over 20%. Sure i put on a fair bit of muscle. But if i bulked slower i could be like 86-88 and i probably wouldn't look that bad.
>>37249480
if your looking to put on muscle i wouldn't go above about like 18% body fat.
Why did you skip OHP?
Also, is there a pendlay row equivalent for the 1/2/3/4 goal? It's my main pull movement and I want to know where it fits in to my goal.
>>37246469

I can squat easily over 150kg for reps. I can deadlift 180kg easy for reps.
STILL I CANNOT FUCKING BENCH PRESS 2 FUCKING PLATES FOR NOT EVEN ONE REP
EMBRACE THE T-REX MODE ALL HAIL YOUR GOD
>>37249706
what are you doing for chest?
>>37249641
140kg bench
200kg squat
220kg dl
>>37249706
how do you fix your squat? my squat is fucking shit tier. How into squat gains? Halp
>>37249740
ive noticed that you are either naturally good at squat or bench, I'm a bencher my self cant squat worth a shit.
>>37249731
Only pause bench press. I have been doing currently the candito 6-week program for some time now. I like it even though my bench press doesnt follow...
>>37249740
I don't know. I have always felt that squat is the easiest lift for me. I squat low-bar.
>>37244417
4 months in lto lifting i have 1/2 provavly another r from 3/4
>>37249746
I'm better at diddylifts than squats, but I want to quit stalling with my squat weights. Like I'm almost 2pl8 diddies and still on 1pl8 with squats. Why? Did some cunt curse me to be unable to squat well? Fuck
>>37249772
can you bench well?
>>37249772
not really. But I'm upping the weight on my bench press easier than on my squat.
>>37249738
I wish,
127kg bench
156kg squat
206kg deadlift
>>37249814
then you sir are a bencher like me I diddly 315 bench 2pl8 but also only squat around 2 pl8 you will prob have similar stats to me
>>37249831
k, its nice to know I'm not fucking up. Squat just frustrates me.
>tfw when 0.5/0.75/2/1.5

>>37250270
you dl less than you squat?
this... this is troubling.
how long liftan?
>>37244417
2 weeks after hopping on gear, 1 year struggling before that
>>37250270
Well recently only like 4 months ish I guess
Ive been lifting before that for like 1 year plus but fractured my pelvis so stopped for a while
Ive only just realised how fucked my deadlift from was, so Ive started to notice a big jump in my weights
But ive always enjoyed squatting and for some reason since Im the only dyel who goes atg all the big guys love to give me advice etc so my squat form has always been on point
>>37246469
I did all that fucking stuff and I still went to the gym. Don't try and make the "my life is so full I just CAN'T do this thing" excuse just because you can't face the reality that your lifts are shit.

i'll just assume you're replying to >>37250320
if you really want to improve bench, get a good spotter and bench beyond failure, eat more, maybe try a different linear progression program. SL is worth looking at if you did SS, more volume could help
>>37244417
4 months to 100kg/130kg/170kg
Then 6 more months to 105kg/150kg/180kg
And 3 more years for 140kg/200kg/210kg
My deadlift started out high but progresses like shit.
>>37246664

lol fuck that. i did 5x10 front squats at 55% and i wanted to kill myself by the last set
>tfw the bar is slightly choking you out
>>37250380
Yeah I moved over to SL but am doing front squats on DL day now as I fell it fatigues me less (plus just want DL to catch up)
True on eating more
And bench yeah guess that would help, I'll give it a go ty anon

> 3.8 pl8 Diddly
It's took me 1 Year of serious lifting to get these numbers, started clean bulking at 65KG now at 74KG (5'11) just getting out of ottermode now moving into athletic mode. Prolly hit 4/3/2/1 within 5 weeks hopefully. Wanna get a 160KG squat and 200KG diddly before the end of the year.

Just so you know, '1pl8' is typically used to mean that you have one 45-pound (20kg) plate on either side of a 45-pound (20kg) bar, for a total of 135 pounds (60kg).
