>bench 100kg for 5 reps>still have pic related pecs with gay gapAre my insertions just garbage tier or I do need to lean out more or whatever?
>>77266560you're not lean nor muscular enough for it to matter buddy
>>77266570B-but I was told that I need to bench heckin' 2 plates, meanwhile dyels who bench 1 plate for few reps have better pec development.
The area covered by your pecs doesn't really change from hypertrophy unless you're a roidbeast with giant muscle tits. You're always gonna have that gap so better just get over it.
>>77266572You don't actually lift do you?
>>77266572insertions have nothing to do with how well developed a muscle is.you literally outlined bone. pectoral muscle is never going to grow there even if you bench 300kg
>>77266592Is it purely aesthetic thing or does it impact max strength? I heard that insertions matter for strength too.
>>77266744Yes if you have a triangle its over you should just quit lifting altogether youre ngmi sorry demz the rules kiddo
>>77266560Honestly your pics are gonna look worse the bigger and puffier they get. Your best bet is to get leaner and go high rep push ups, that can really tighten and striate your pecs nicely, weave the gap a little tighter
>>77266560You bench lower intermediate weights, what djd you expect?
Are u fr? Its over for me too thenIg some of us are just dammed lol. At least I have a nice dick
>>77266572What's your routine look like? Are you lifting for strength or `zeek?
>>772668152pl for reps is actually a beginner stage, early beginner even, very early
>>77266969>1pl for repsearly beginner>2pl for repsearly intermediate >3pl for repsearly advanced>4pl for repsearly eliteIt's that simple. Unless you're sub-180lbs or something
>>77266560you bench 100kg and thats what you look like?
>>77266560Bro keep eating at a surplus with 200g of pro for another year. Cut down to 10% body fat then post again. Jesus. Experiment with more volume and/or intensity on your chest. Back in the bro-split days when I was coming up chest twice a week was a common addition because of bench obsession.
You fell for the meme and now you're seeing the truth. You won't have an impressive chest until you're repping out 315.
>>77266560your bench doesn't mean anything. i only do calisthenics at home and my chest looks the same as yours if not bigger
>>77266572It's genetically conditioned. Male models have ideal pecs not because they work harder than you but because they were selected for it (among other things of course).Don't listen to the people gaslighting you into thinking 2 plates for reps is weak, it's not spectacular, but still solid enough to expect some development. Your chest will never be great but bench is also not the greatest chest exercise. Do pec deck and other stuff also.
>>77267585Post dat chest brah
Can't really expect to have decent cheat just from 100kg bench. My weight was always 65kg, in 2-3 months from that I could reach 100kg bench. Can't expect to look good in 3months. Now I'm 73kg, 1rpm bench and 60kg ohp and I look dyel without a pump.
>>77267635>>77266560This, 100kg is not serious.I don’t know any 3pl bencher with small chest though
>>77266958Flat bench press, dips, and seated cable flies.
>>77266560Reverse grip bench basically hits most of the shit that regular doesn't and gets a nasty stretch. Incline but more controlled and narrower grip helps to get the inside and upper which is important. You have a lot of muscle to gain anyways. Maybe also do some more wide grip and fast back controlled it'll help you be way stronger from the beginning of a paused rep. Good shit though how'd you get past 225?
>>77267662> how'd you get past 225Kek the state of this board. Just bench retard, it’s intermediate weight
>>77267662>Good shit though how'd you get past 225Just like with any exercise lol. Took me 2 years>inb4 took too long, trannyBasically, I would have a training session where I would do high reps with low weight, and the other where I would try to lift as heavy as possible in a 5x5 format.
>>77267701>as heavy as possible>5x5LMMAAAAOOOOOO
>>77267671I'm doing some 225 military press now. My point was gonna be that as a noob even if you overtrain doing bench 3x and have to think about how to add shoulders and incline, try doing bench in a different position so you force yourself to do more volume and bonus it's barbell work.
>>77267702Yeah see I knew it he is doing some stupid shit.>>772677013 base workouts a week, choose between bench, incline, and ohp. Just get at least 2 or 3 sets of the others a week or whatever. Do your back, arms, legs etc but not the focus. Work up to your 3 rep max and bust out a set, then do 2-3 more sets at whatever 5-8 rep range you want to go until you reach muscular failure or 1 rep in reserve. Balance it out with a pull and you're good for the day if you don't feel like lifting.
>>772677015x5 implies loading up your 5 rep max on a set by set basis.
>>77267702>>77267708>>77267714What's wrong with 5x5? Told you that I'm doing both high reps for "hypertrophy" (the usual 8-12 reps for 3 sets) and low reps for strength. All of you act as if 5x5 is the worst thing you could possible do.
>>772677755x5 is not>low reps for strengthSet/rep range
>>77266560Yaaaaaay this thread again
>>77267775I'm saying it looks like you aren't going to 2rir(reps in reserve) or less every set.
>>77267782>>77267792Truth be told, when I do 5x5, I fail on my last sets. I don't hit 5 reps, usually 3 with struggling.
>>77266744It will have a small impact on your strength because you have less contractile tissue. But that will only matter if you reach your maximum potential and it might have made an extra 1-5% in strength.The fact that you are looking for excuses already, already means that this doesn't apply to you.
>>77267649225 is the standard new lifters care about, but 315 is where you actually grow a chest
It's genetics.
