Is 2pl a respectable bench for an adult male?
>>77105026the real world doesn't operate like you are still in 9th grade. nobody gives a shit what you lift. just be a respectable person and people will respect you for that
>>77105026If you're below 12% bf, yesLOOK ME IN MY BRAND NEW... EYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>77105033You must be fun at parties
>>77105038answer OP's gay ass question then.
>>77105045No it’s not. 3pl is when the real benching starts
>>77105026I just upped my bench to 50kg. Don't make fun of me.
>>771050623pl8 is only impressive if it's your ohp or you're a woman
>>77105069I hit 3pl8 when I weighed 150 pounds. When did you hit it first?
>>77105026LARSEN press? gotttt DAYUM
>>77105072Imagine flexing being a victim weight kek. I could overpower and effortlessly rape you
>>77105026not anymore. lol
>>77105062get a life dork
>>77105038He probably unironically is because he's not a gay retard like you.
>>77105072I hit a 3pl8 ohp back in highschool. I was a state champ wrestler and I wrestled at 138lbs back then so 138lbs
>>77105076Kek so you're a nigger who can't even bench 3pl8 and still thinks he's literally bulletproof? Cute.>>77105091Based.
>>77105076It always amazes me how many posts on this board are guys "jokingly" threatening to rape other men.
mommy
>>77105096>Kek so you're a nigger who can't even bench 3pl8 and still thinks he's literally bulletproof? Cute.I do? In fact it's my warmup weight
Bro, I hit a 3 plate bench when I was 13. I was also the captain of my football team, baseball team, and my dad owns a car dealership which he gave me a sick job at. Right now I can bench 5 plates and I barely work out.
>>77105038Probably more fun than a guy spouting a nearly 30 year old hackneyed redditism
>>77105026All memes aside, yes it is a pretty good bench. Most people can't even do a single rep of that without>Bouncing it off their chest marc steubing style>Doing a gigantic arch and literally moving the bar 2 inches>Doing Lenny reps, which DO NOT count>Having a spotter help them lift it, which is just stupid and pointless>Or just being a 300lbs bloatlordLike just look around next time you're in a public gym, you'll rarely even see anyone lift that. You get boomers who claim they used to do like 30 reps of 2pl8 back in the day, yet all you see them lift is 1.5pl8 on the Smith machine, and you get some of the bigger fitter zoomers maxing out at 1.5pl8 bench for a few reps. Of course everyone on the internet claims they hit 3pl8 in 2 years but they can't post proof because A. They are faggots and B. X gay excuseso in all seriousness it's an okay bench. most give up long before they reach that or just never train or eat in a way that allows them to, so you're doing solid bro
>>77105124What a load of bullshit, i constantly see dudes repping 3pl in my gold’s myself included
>>77105129Post proof then. You won't because you can't really lift that and you're gay
>>77105131Post bench
>>77105026>Is 2pl a respectable bench for an adult male?I think 225 is achievable for the average adult male (i.e., no major medical conditions, normal height range, etc). But it takes a degree of effort that the average adult male is simply not going to put in. You need to have an actual routine. You need to alter your diet. You need to be consistent for more than six months at the very least. That's the part that's respectable, not the weight lifted. Most people put no effort at all into their lives and just kinda coast along in a stupor.
>>77105451>You need to have an actual routine. You need to alter your diet. You need to be consistent for more than six months at the very leastFor a 1 rep 225? Buddy....come on now.
>>77105076>I could overpower and effortlessly rape youWhy would you stick your cock inside another man? That is 100% gay and disgusting. Why cant you just threaten to beat him up in a fight instead of claming you could have gay sex with him?
>>77105069>not doing 3pl8 zercher goodmorningsNGMI
>>77105026it's an intermediate milestone for men. when you consider most people don't go to the gym or don't stay consistent enough to make meaningful progress, it's a relatively rare feat compared to the general population.
>>77105457Bro most adult men can't bench 135.
>>77105124>Got to 2pl8 for 2 reps>Life and kids get in the way, down from 3 workouts a week to 1 a week or fortnight >Now back to 1.5 for repsFeels bad man.
>everyone benching 3pl8>but not a single videoSure guys... sure. Just like Hegseth benched without fake plates.
>>77105495No, only the bottom side is gayRaping is asserting dominance
>>77105590Post bench
>>77105590You'd think at least the guy who supposedly benched 3pl8 at 138lbs bw - which is literally considered elite level - would post some proof. I wonder if most of this board could be full of shit? An interesting theory...
>>77105026>still not a single video of a 3pl8 bench posted in a thread where everyone is benching 3pl8Sad. I at least expected one video of some fatass doing a quarter rep
>>77105507This. Just yesterday I saw some young guy in the gym fail on 1pl8 and need bailing. Despite memes here 2pl8 is about the peak a committed natty will reach after years of gyming. I think my absolute natty peak bench was 110kg for 4 or 5.Now im a signed and sealed trenny so whatever.
>>771050262 pl8 is a one rep max standard. You should be repping 180+ for 8 or more reps in general. Orms are cool but you'll get some wildly differnt numbers if you test orm after like a proper week or two strength wrokup.
>>77105033Nah, men will respect you more if you're strong.
>>77105026I hit 2plates after a year of lifting, 3plates after 3 years or so, 4plates after 8 years. I'd say 3plates is when you start being truly strong. 2plates is impressive for teenagers.
2pl for reps is something achievable within 6months to 1 year(if you have shit genetics). I literally started with 1pl for 7 reps completely untrainedOf course it’s not even close to respectable
just 1 rep of 2pl8? any regular adult male should be able to achieve that inside of a year with any actual dedicationwhich means that yes, it is impressive because well over half of the male population of earth would die if placed under it since they lack dedication to strength or form. Above 2pl8 or for reps is where it starts to really sing
>>77105026>for an adult male?Adult males weigh >200lbs, so no.
I hit 4.5pl8 by 19 after a few months of lifting
>>77105098Someone put the pieces together and realized the "victim weight" guy is always talking about that. It doesn't take Sherlock to make the next logical deduction from there...
>>77105124Is that edited? Hogan was like 6'5 300 lbs. Rogan should be up to his bellybutton>>77105129post bench
>>77105609It's fairly gay, and either way, super disgusting
>>77105026>Is 2pl a respectable bench for an adult male?absolutely it's very impressive. everyone who disagrees is either a lard ass powershitter or some terminally online dyel who never lifts and just shitposts
>>77105026It should be your bodyweight
>>771068753.2pl for 3 reps
Unironically yes it’s more than an overwhelming majority of men
>>77105026Lmao at that failed bro fist. Shes cute
>>77105026I think my 2pl8 max is okay, but it's at a 35° incline.
>>77105610>>77105135strange request but here you go
>>77106887Nope, it's the most manly thing a man can do and it's not gay. The "man" who gets ass raped is gay, there's simply nothing more humiliating. The rapist is a chad who made another "man" his bitch. It's been like this for most of human history. And it's still like this among high T men in prison.
>>77107367This. See all strongest militaries in the world's history especially Spartans
>>77105026Do we mean double arm or single? Because I hit 2pl8 double ez at 16. Managed one handed about 4 years later.
>>77105038Tranny reddit ahh reply. My behavior on the internet isnt the same as irl you mouth breathing moron.
>>77107574>calls other anon r*ddit tranny>types out ahhWe should bring back nigger lynchings
>>77107574What's you behavior irl? Beta bitch?
>>77107574kill yourself retard
>>77105124Lots bench 2pl8 at my la fitness in a liberal city. We have 4 benches and there's always at least one guy benching 2pl8 or above
>>77107586>>77107594>>77107606Triggered samefag kek
>>77105026I think 2pl8 for reps is decently achievable but puts you above almost every man you'll meet on the street. More than that is diminishing returns.
>>77107659But why would you compare yourself to an average man and not the top?
>>77107660I believe in 80/20, but applied liberally. You can max out one thing and be the best at that one thing, or you can beat 80% with 20% of the effort and then have 4 more sets of 20% to sprinkle around. Obviously the numbers are bullshit, but I think it's better to beat most people at many things than to beat almost everybody at one thing.So for weight lifting, get pretty strong, stronger than most, and then go do your cardio.
>>77105026No, 2plates is weak faggot shit. It’s decent if you’re in high school. 3plates is decent
>>77107692Your lift will be stronger than most with just cardio and never touching weights because most people don't do both. Even without doing calisthetics. By that logic there's no reason to weight lift
>>77105124>retard alertI benched 3 plates in my first year of lifting. Plenty of people bench 315. It’s not common a depends on what kind of gym you are going to. If it’s a college gym no it’s rare, a regular gym probably 10-15% of men can. Powerlifting/strongman gym like 90% of men there can
>>77105033FPBP
>>77105026For someone that goes to the gym? No.For someone that does not go to the gym? it depends. Most likely, no, but for different reasons than the first.
>>77107864I hope YOU get blacked (raw)
>>77107709>I benched 3 plates in my first year of lifting>No video postedSure you did fatso
>>77107864Women raff at yuhr pree pree
>>77107703>cardio builds upper body strengthGood to know, Anon! I never really heard that before. I'll keep it in consideration.Not.
>>77107699What about us Manlets? We're punching above out weight much of the time
>>77108537Yes, someone doing cardio will have high upper body strength than someone who doesnt due to improved cardiovascular system. Assuming both don’t lift
>>77106875>Is that edited? Hogan was like 6'5 300 lbswrestler stats are always exaggerated bruh. The rock isn't really 6'5" eitheralso, I love it how so many anons ITT are claiming 315 and 405 benches get not one has posted proof lmao. dont ever change, /fit/tards
>>77108839I actually hold the current world record with a 10pl8 bench, I just don't compete in anything, don't have social media and don't film my workouts
>>77108820>60 is more than 50Buddy, we're talking about 225 here.
people spend too much time in echo chambers to realise that 2pl8 bench immediately puts you in the 90th percentile for strength
