>tfw benched 95lb today
You better watch out, Chad.
>>25472537
I don't understand lifting. When I used to go to the gym I wouldn't try to use anything that weighed over 80 pounds (I weigh more than twice of that).
If I tried anything really heavy it would just be too fucking heavy.

It's called having a pathetically thin, frail, underdeveloped body. Normalfags think people like that just don't exist.
>just lift brah, it worked for me, therefore it must work for everyone!
>>25472883
Yeah if it was anything over 100 it was just too much. I know they say you're supposed to lift half your bodyweight or something. I just fucking gave up instead.
>>25472969
you're supposed to bench AT LEAST 1x bodyweight -_-
Betas do not belong at the gym. Stay in your basements manboys.
>>25473008
Oh, well in that case I will definitely give up.
>>25473008
No, you're not.
Original comment.
No one even comes close to that in my gym, most new faggots I see can't even bench half their weight
>>25472969
Nah my point was lifting relies on progressive overload aka small increments starting from a comfortable weight.
>>25473008
>>25473117
>>25473137
So if I could only lift a max of 100 lbs and weigh 180-ish. Is that an ok start?
>>25473117
Ok Anon, what fat fuck state do you live in?
>>25473008
not if you have 6 inch wrists
>>25473008
I benched for over 2 years yet I could not lift 1 plate. I weigh 170 lbs

Italy, I beanch 160 lb and I'm among the strongest guy in my gym, most people can't even 1 pl8, the strongest I've seen was a roid head who lifted like 180 libs.
It's a big gym too.
>>25473264
Gay or tard?
>tfw finally hitting 65lb deadlift
Its over normies. Your time is up.
>>25473257
Are you stupid? 1 plate is 135 lbs. 1 plate on each side 90+45=135
Get with the terminology faggot
>>25473185
It's a good start, most guys in my gym start with a semi-empty bar
Just starting to lift a little since I'm a NEET and have nothing better to do.
>>25473298
I think I'm a psychopath/sociopath, and slightly autistic/aspergers. I can socialize really well, I'm good at meeting people, but I just fail at personal relationships. I'm in college too.
>>25473264
I was verbally bullied by 13yo kids in my previous club.
>>25473279
Ridiculously weak. My warm up is more than 160. Idk, I'd guess 80% of the dudes at my gym could bench 160lbs.
>>25472537
We all have to start somewhere
If you've made progress, it's good
Keep lifting and one day you really will be stronger than Chad
>>25473356
Most of us italians don't use roids
>>25473356
Also si that your maximum or what, how much can you do with that weight?
>>25472537
How did you guys learned the form for deadlifts squats and overhead press?
Im scared ill fuck something up and unleash my autism when i go
>>25472537
fitbot should go on streets beating chads
better yet, we turn that into a meme
going around beating alpha males, like the knock out game but with chad as the way to get highest score
we shoud convince niggers to do that
>>25473206
Nigga I have 6 inch wrists and hands literally the same size or smaller than a woman's and tiny skinny fingers yet after 3 months I could bench my BW (70KG) and dl 120KG. My squat sucked hard though at 75kg even though I squatted 3 times a week. It hurt my knees and I just could not get my form right.
Dont listen to fucking /fit they are retarded. They try ot scare away people by saying they benched 220lbs after just 6 montchs and that they started with squating their bodyweight x10. they are full of bs jsut do shit your in your own pace.
When I started at 16 my 1 rep max was 45-50 kg (fuck imperial). Unless you are some kind of beast you wont bench fucking 60kg on your first try and nobody expect you to.
>>25473302
Plates? I've literraly never heard anyone call benching 135lbs a 'plate'.
>>25473363
Too bad the later you start the less it helps. Had i picked oly lifting at 12 I would have become a chad im sure.
>>25473322
>Just starting to lift a little since I'm a NEET and have nothing better to do.
show me that poster
>>25473411
how many times at week did you beanch to progress so fast?
>>25473424
No, it's definitely pretty common. On the internet at least.
A plate is 135. 2 plates is 225.
>>25473374
What? 160lbs is very average.
>>25473442
Rias is a qt
>>25473424
DOnmt become an enabler, contiune to call it what it is, 135 lbs. Fuck plates, its just a stupiod fuckig meme nobody calls it plates IRL. "Hey bro I just benched 2plates " instead of "hey bro I just benched 100kg"
Fucking fit, cancerous board
>>25473374
>>25473279
Do you mean KG? Because 160lb is seriously weak as fuck. But 160kg is really good.
>>25473465
litterally onli see the top 4 guys (including me) lifiting that weight at my gym, I do it 4x6 by the way
>>25473401
I do 15 reps of 175 as a warm up. I weigh about 175lbs. I'm in good shape but I'm hardly any kind of roid monster.
>>25473489
I mean lb fuckhead, LB, no one could ever 4x6 160 lb at his first try, stop being so full of shit.
I'm super skinny skeleton manlet and want to start doing some lifting but I don't want people to know I'm lifting or working out because to me it's like masturbating.
What other alternatives to the usual dumbells can I use? Someone suggested big bottles of water but I don't see how that would be comfortable at all.
I just want to do biceps.

Also, that's still weak as fuck. Anyone who's been training for like a year or 2 should be at 200-225lb 1 rep.
>>25473457
I just followed SL and ate a lot of food. To be fair though I wasn't starting from complete scratch. Before starting at the gym I could do about 30 push ups so that probably gave me a little headstart.

no, my gym actually used lbs too and not kgs even though we're in Italy, most gyms use kgs but mine uses lbs, so I have absolutely no problem reporting the exact weight I and my gymbros lift.
>>25473641
I live in Italy, not America and also this is like the 4th gym in my town I subscribed to and no one did better even in those other gyms, this is the biggest one I've been to anyways
>>25473008
Not right off the bat. It doesn't take long to get to that point, but almost no one starts out benching their own bodyweight.
>>25473687
DB benching 50lbs each hand is actually pretty good. You can probably bench like 170lbs at least with a barbell.

Oh nice joke!
No, I don't and I've been to several gyms too, no one even came close to 2 pl8s, most were below 1 pl8 and only me and a few other so called "Pros" managed to lift over 1 pl8.
the best part about working out is tracking your progress over time. When I started I benched 50lbs and it was hard to do 4 sets. Today I can do 200 easily. My squat is still shit though, I'm frail like that and don't eat enough.
>>25473521
What the fuck are you on about?
I can't comprehend what your life.
Are Italians all weak manlets?

Da Phuk?
Where the hell do you live? Why is everyone there so weak? My current max bench is 230lb for 5 reps. 250lb 1RM. I'm not saying this to brag. I'm one of the smallest pussies there. I'm surrounded by monsters who bench 315 for 4 sets of ten reps. They use my max to warm up! I refuse to believe that no one in your gym can do 2pl8. That's impossible.
>>25473762
You use stabilisers more when using dumbells which makes it harder. Dumbells are actually better for strength gains according to my gym going housemates.
>>25473521
What the fuck are you talking about? Keep your lifting a secret if you want to, but if all you work is your biceps, you're going to look fucking stupid.
good job anon you can do it. i use to curl 34lb dumbbell but not anymore i can do 18 for like 10 rep.
>>25474383
>I'm surrounded by monsters
Haha, no you're not. You're just paying more attention to them(Unless you legitimately go to a powerlifting gym). The weaklets don't register to your brain.
In reality, most people are weak by /fit/ standards. Strength is over represented much like dick size. People with big muscles are more likely to brag and misrepresent the average. It doesn't help that if you complain about being weak, people jump down your throat for not trying hard enough.
tl;dr confirmation bias

FYI, I do. I'm well aware of the confirmation bias you speak of, and I assure you that is not the case. I was most certainly not exaggerating when I spoke of being surrounded. The gym I go to has at least 20 IFBB pro's. The rest are serious lifters who happen to be unaffiliated.

I have *honestly* only been benching for half a year and I just about rep 175 for 5x5. (and I broke my wrist so also had to take about a month and a half off). I regularly see guys benching much more than me.
In fact, of the people who actually use the bench in my gym, I would say 50% or so can bench more than me.
And that is not just because they are muscle gods or irregularities. I squat 285lb for 5x5 and that is more than most people in the gym. But my bench is very weak compared to my squat. I'm not going to go full /fit/ and say a bench is weak unless its 315lb but c'mon, you must see SOME guys at least benching 2 plates
>>25473403
Starting Strength and youtube videos will help, you can practice form with something like a broom at home if you want. Otherwise start with the bar to learn form.
>>25473322
Dumbbells are a great way of exercising for beginners. Still to build up your base strenght or whatever you might need a training bench, more dumbbells.
I wouldn't come far with only dumbbells and especially 20-25lbs. I would need dumbbells up to 70lbs atleast and that wouldn't even be enough after a while.
So you should get to know your strenght and find a set of dumbbells that works for you. When I started I was at 11lbs dumbbells. Now I use 45lbs dumbbells atleast for any exercise.
So get matching dumbbells, lower weights maybe, a bench, watch some videos for tips and exercises and get a schedual.
Anything else you need to know.
>>25473529
Theres a movie like that. The title is ''Dennis''. Surprinsingly or not its Swedish.
>>25473521
If you want to do BICEPS only I suggest you read up on some info online. You would need to train Biceps, triceps, pecs and shoulder. Instead of dumbbells you can fill those 10liter water bottle thingies and use them. They work great as a starter kit.
Also decide if you want Strenght or just Volume.
More reps less weight=Bigger Volume
Less reps bigger weights= Strenght
This is usually why people that does a lot of cardio exercises look really strong and etc but it is really just them burning fat and building mass.
>>25473795

7 days a week. Alternating upper body and lower body days.

>>25477095
Seriously, you're obviously lying right now.
First of all, you don't train 2 times a day 7 days.
You train maybe 5 times at most per week. 1-2 hour sessions and THREE Sets not 2. And you train arms alone. Chest area with maybe the abs.
Back you train alone. Same for legdays.
>2 sets, twice a day. I eat 30 minutes before and after each split session.
Who the fuck taught you this bullshit?
You're not growing or getting stronger because your muscles have no time to recover.
>>25477294
>>25477270
A coworker told me two-a-days are the way to go
>>25477707
Lift once a day no more than an hour and, give each muscle group a good 3 days to recover before you work it again.
Something like a push, pull, leg, rest split.
I just got back in the gym last week after taking the summer off. I never should've taken a break, it just feels so good to exercise.

I went from 10 lady pushups and 0 pushups to 10-15 pushups in 2 months. I weigh 196lbs, how much do you reckon I could bench?
Also I think I'm plateauing, not seeing any improvement since I got to the 10 pushup point.
>>25479151
>10-15 pushups
you're not lifting your whole weight. watch those sixth grade science videos again, you're putting a lot of weight on your feet and decreasing the work required by a lot. the same reason lady pushups are easier than full pushups is the reason pushups are easier than benching your bodyweight. you could probably bench the bar 5 times
i'm in sort of a similar boat, doing bodyweight exercises in lieu of weightlifting. the progress is slow with a much smaller effort/reward ratios but the discipline you learn is important if you ever want to hit the gym
>>25479151
also
>i think i'm plateauing
at 10 pushups? force yourself to do 15 every set instead. it is literally 5 more pushups, one of the easiest arm/chest exercises imaginable. if you can't force yourself to do 5 more pushups than your supposed limit then you will never make progress period

What would I be expected to bench on a bench press machine(I have no one to spot me)?
musclecucks amuse me
agility and flexibility is where it's at
>>25481257
Don't be a faggot. Start with the bar on the normal bench and keep adding five pounds until you can only do 5 or 6 reps. Then use that weight and add 5 pounds every other day you do it. You can usually tell from the first rep if it's too much to get to five.
If you fail you can slowly lower it to your chest and roll it down your abdomen, especially with such a light weight. However if you never go too heavy it's unlikely that you'll fail.
>>25481257
That's almost exactly what I am and I can put up 115. Maybe I could do more, but like you I have no one to spot. I don't use the machine but I don't go into dangerous weight as I don't want to die from a bar.

>>25473521
curls are best exercise for full body training
>>25474097
you can do heaps of exercises with dumbells
exercises:
bench - chest, tris (doing close), press - shoulders. hold them while doing situps for some added resistance
do chest/back/shoulder flys, these use lower weight too. there's different variations too.
for traps you can do shrugs or raises, there's different ways to do raises. shrugs need pretty big weight though
a lot of those exercises are more 'targeted' exercises, which people say aren't the best for strength but are better for looks... though I don't know if thats true or not
for legs you can do lunges and goblet squats. leg exercises need more weight so it's hard with dumbells besides those two
just start out small with the exercises and get proper form. don't try do too high with exercises like raises (especially shoulder ones). you use low weight for shoulder/back ones. look up how to do properly and stretch out first, so you don't fuck up your shoulder or tear a muscle
dieting is the most important though... having a decent diet will help a lot in gaining muscle, losing weight etc.
>I've been going to the gym since my new years resolution and I can't lift as heavy as the chads with 5+ years experience, this is obviously a shit normie chad meme bullshit that'll never work for me, I'm just going to quit this bullshit.
This fucking denial. You're giving up using the typical /r9k/ mental shield of every failure is someone elses fault and any self improvement requiring hard work is not needed.
What shits me the most is this argument of 'This maybe this works FOR CHADS but it doesn't work for me', is that you're arguing against a BASIC BODILY FUNCTION OF SELF REPAIR. If you're getting bruises that never fade and cuts that never heal shut, okay, maybe you have an argument to be made, but if you're able bodied enough to walk to the gym your musculoskeletal system is in working order enough to start at a small weight and progress to a heavier weight later, and it's YOU that's fucking something up, either your nutrition, rest, workout routine or consistency of training.
People suffer muscular atrophy from years of medical inactivity and regain their strength through physiotherapy and weight training program and SO CAN YOU. If you don't want to, or have no interest, or think it's a pointless indulgence of vanity, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with you saying any of that, I legitimately want you to go your own way in life. But don't give me this horseshit about how it's just a chad meme to make fun of robots you self-pity-hugbox fucks.

what, you mean an empty bar? 45 lbs? You kidding man?
>>25479944
>if you can't force yourself to do 5 more pushups than your supposed limit then you will never make progress period
the thing is if I do 15 I'll be able to do only 1 more set before my arms give up. I'm thinking a 50% increase is too much, it'd be different going from 50 to 55 but I'll have to go to 12 or 13 first.
>>25473709
I could bench around half my bodyweight after 6 months.

You either train like complete shit or diet like complete shit. If you can't add at least 5lbs a week as a beginner you're fucking up

Shit's tough. I've got MyFitnessPal and have limited myself to 1500 calories a day. At 6"1' and 238 pounds that should be enough, right?

Not him but that's not a regular gym then.
Most smaller gyms have like 1 or 2 amateur powerlifters, maybe an amateur bodybuilder and that's it. Of course it's more in cities but 20 IFBB pros is a fuckton.

ive never worked out a day in my life, and my biceps look just like that :)
How quickly should you increase your bench? I just started at 35kg two days ago, did that for one sesh and today i tried again and it felt like barely anything until i put 5kg more on.
>been going to the gym consistently for 3 years
>still look like shit
>>25472537
I benched two 60 lbs dumbbells ten times yesterday, step it up senpai.
>>25472966
But you're wrong, my brother is smaller framed and her looks a lot more masculine because of lifting now.
>>25486659
dude what the fuck are you talking about? You look fine. you aren't scrawny or skinny. I see visible muscle on you. You may be slightly skinnyfat but you still look good.
>>25472939
Yes, for you being a lazy shit. He had to work to get there, there's no way around it.
>>25486706
Thank you anon. I should look way better than the way I do since I lift every day, but maybe it's just because I'm natty and tall.

exercising properly will be 5 times harder and less comfortable if you just lift random rocks at -10 degres celsius
and "eating right" costs a lot of money and time, neither of which a robot has
>>25486843
Bitch, it's not a question of if it's hard, I know it's hard, it's a question of if it's possible. Which it is. There is literally no excuse.

>>25486843
Eating right doesnt cost a lot of money, don't fall for the organic food meme. Plus it takes max like an hour to cook an entire week of meals for yourself
Plus you can just bring the heavy shit into your room and lift whenever you want. You're just trying to find excuses to why someone who put more effort into something is better than you at it
>>25486873
No, I didn't. I admit it's hard, but that's not an excuse. That's just laziness. Don't try to justify your shit excuse of a body, it's no ones fault but your own.

Suck my dick, I work 10 hours a day 6 days a week for 2$ an hour, if you think not being able to afford a gym OR find the time for it is an excuse you're a spoiled fucking Chad yourself

That's still terribly skinny, and that's after a lot of weight training. His ideal form is pathetic. He just doesn't have the potential that he needs to be masculine.
>>25486688

Yes, he looks more masculine than he did before, but he doesn't look masculine relative to men who have large skeletal structure.

Get surgery faggot.
I've had otoplasty and breast reduction. It sucks and it's expensive, but you have no other choice unless you want to repulse people for life.

jesus christ why
>mfw bench 95 lb dumbbell in each hand
step aside, faggot
>lifting 65lbs over my head causes severe back pain (yes I am in good form)
>can lift 30-35lb on a dumbell, but plateau there
my brother had two back discs completely replaced at 28 (and no cartilage on his knees), and my mother had arthritis in her 30s
this sucks
>>25488232
If there was some form of surgery that could fix it I would have undertaken it but the problem is neurological in nature; the brain disables the non-functioning eye quickly at a very young age. I'm 29 now so it's pretty much hopeless.
>>25473483
It's a good benchmark because 20kg/45lb plates are typically the biggest you find, and each additional 90lbs gives a good sense of the strength level. If you know how much each plate weighs and realize that a standard barbell is 45lb as well you don't have any problems with this layman's term

Dude you may not get swole but holy shit at least you're not that vomit inducing skinnyfat build anymore.
i hate lifting culture
bunch of ego fags trying to one up each other about how much they lift like anyone gives a fuck, people injecting roids and pass themselves off as natural. just look at this thread
>lol you should be lifting this much
>where do you even live bro people lift that much easily
i remember back before lifting wasn't a meme (early 2000s or so) and even bodybuilding.com didn't have teenagers and zyzzfags running rampant. it's like somehow the gaming culture found lifting
I think you're better of swimming than lifting. A bit of lifting is okay to supplement the swimming, but you get a more attractive body from swimming a lot.

you clearly don't lift, i use 30kg dumbells for reps and only BB bench 70 for 1RM.
my weight is 145lbs (looking like directly from nazi concetration camp skinny) and I can lift 90 lbs, is that good?
>Deadlift 400lbs at 130lbs BW
skelly strong manlet reporting
>>25486437
this is bait.
1. There are atleast 3-4 years between these pictures. The training you would have to do to get this far in one year is so ludicrous you would have to go to the gym every day and take steroids.
2. The genes of the person in the pictures are the least of their worries. Not excelent fat distribution and good chest muscle type. Their collar bone is visible even when they are still "fat", while on the right picture, you can see there is no space below the collar bone. This usually takes years to achieve and some peopl cannot do it at all.
Oh and dont even get me started on your skeleton. Not everybody has bones ideally sized for a model male body.
In summary, the person in the pictures is not you. Kill yourself.
>>25492804
No that's untrained, how tall are you? 145lbs isn't that skinny.
I bench 70kg 5x5 and i weigh 60kg and i'm a beginner.
>>25492804
I'm 6"3 155lbs and I bench 130.
My chest is weirdly proportioned compared to my arms though
>>25492893
Note excelent fat distribution*

You are joking right, right?
i fucking hope you are, you could easily achieve the progress between these pictures in 4 months or less if you're not retarded, and i have no idea what you're on about with the collarbones.
>>25492968
You havent been to the gym in the last few decades, have you?
>>25492901
I am 6'1. And I would like to start training but chads are lifting reps with 110lbs just to warm up. I would look silly .
I have a hand like a skinny teenage girl. And I am 27 yo dude.
So I started do pushups 5x15 idk if that helps.
>>25493149
>5x15
Learn to do them properly, If you can do this many, you need to make the exercise harder. Doing many reps of easy exercise will get you nowhere.
>>25493008
gained 40lbs in 5 months mate.
100-140lbs at 5'8, you clearly don't lift if you think it takes 3 years of lifting to accomplish that.
>>25493149
>I am 6'1. And I would like to start training but chads are lifting reps with 110lbs just to warm up. I would look silly .
everyones weak when they start don't worry about it, at 6'1 you can get pretty heavy so bulk to like 180lbs and try to get 220lbs bench, it's easily doable within a year for you, you just have to train and be consistent.
>>25493328
>40lbs in 5 months
Ye, 40lbs of fat you faggit.
