how much do you bench?
>>77300700On flat I do 65 lbs dumbells for 12 - 14.On incline I do 60 lbs dumbells for 12 - 14.
350lbs for 2 reps at 6’2 205lbs
>>77300700275 -245-225
>>77300702Oh.6'3" 178 right now.
>>77300710data collected
>>77300700110kg 1rm @78kg bw, larsen style
>>77300730Glad to be part of your survey Anon.
>>77300700135x12 incline most recently, I hurt my shoulder doing 260 3x1 flat 2 months ago(flared my elbows too much). Hoping to hit 315 by the end of the year
>>77300758More super narrow rotated in
>Error: You must wait longer before deleting this post.Why? Dumb cocksuckers. I think the timer gets reset too, great design.
>>77300761Not sure what you're trying to say, but on my third set, after I got the bar halfway off my chest, I moved it closer to my neck horizontally and pushed my elbows out to get it all the way up. When I sat up it felt like I tore something the back of my left shoulder. Gay as fuck.
>>773007003pl8s 1-3 any week
>>77300790That's exactly how I cheat reps and fuck shit up. Decent to do for 3 and push through to beef shoulders.
Bench? I'm 46 I don't train like a kid anymore
>>77300790Uh 5050 bench and struct incline
>>77300700I am getting back into lifting after years of no exercise and sitting at a desk 14 hours a day since covid. Had to spend a lot of time getting my shoulders stronger because things had gotten fucking grim.Currently do 80kgs 2 x10 and 90kgs 2x6 after a few warm up sets and then a few warm down sets. Feels good. Don't do 1RM, but not far off seeing how 2plate goes.
>>77300700Benching is strictly for poofs
2x12 at 110kg1x9 at 112.5kg (moved up last week)>1RMidk, never tried
>>7730070040kg for one rep.
115kg (254lbs) for 3x2 at 75kg (165 lbs)
Unc here, 225 for reps simple as. I'm OCD about my shoulder
>>7730070015 kilos
I do 3x4 with 85 kg. Started from 60kg 2 months ago. Slowingly adding 2.5 kg each week more or less. Id try more if i didn't go to a commercial gym in shitaly where nobody is willing to spot you
>>77301884you dont need a spotter
>>77300700i did 80 for 3 sets of 5 and stopped benching. i plan to make one final push for 100/2pl8 and then ill probably never bench again. dips feel so much better for me
>>77301888I'm sure i can do 1 rep with 100 kg at this point but I rather reach it slowly
>>77300792>>77300704Holy fuck only 2 respectable benches in whole threadThis board is dyel as fuck, pathetic
120 lbs, almost as much as I weigh.
>>77300700Enjoy your shoulder impingement. There are better ways to grow your chest
>>77303610Show us your better chest
>>77303610>t.
>>77303599>Counting warm up sets>Not warming up by feelngmi
>>77303610>never got past durable shoulder joints>injuring vs straining
>>77300700I only incline bench, 110kg
Last topped out at 405x2, usually stick to 365 for 3-5 for a few sets though as going to 4 plates is still intimidating for me.
>>77300700>how much do you bench I don’t
350 max, 225 for 21 @ 206 lbs
>>77300700200 for 3 )':
Please give tips to going from 2pl8 to 3pl8
Too little because of bad leverages and bad shoulders and bad person so if a somewhat gifted 17yo goes to gym for 3 months they bench more and never have any pain. Currently on a streak tho so I might peak my life time records again because it doesn't seem like I'm about to get (overuse) injury by just taking enough rest days.
>>77304018I forgot to mention the 17yo doesn't need to have a plan or a diet for the first year. However easily half of people are not gifted so they won't lift shit.
I just do planche lean push ups cause I’m a fag and never leave my house
>>77303995Impressive. Are you natty? I've done 225 on the smith machine. Planet fitness only recently added barbells... Totally humiliated myself the first time I tried them. Hadn't occurred to me that I was fasted, and I'd already been working out so I was not at my best... 135, no problem. Bumped it to 185, and nearly couldn't get it up for 1. Total humiliation. Well, not total... total would have been screaming for help or something, but still embarrassing to struggle to put up 185.
6x80kg2x90kgI'm a 75kg fat fuck
>>77300700175x4 is my record (started lifting in feb). never tried maxing out.
>>77304705>75kg fat fuckare you 160cm?
>>77300700Flat bench, 20kg dbs for 10 reps. Yes, I know.
>>77300799Hmm are you doing pec flyes gramps?
>>77304727175 at like 16-17% bfI'm fat in the soul
>>773007005x15 @185Used to lift 2 plates running 5/3/1 before covid
>>77300700Post body weight too.
>>77300700I can bench 145lb, so 1 plate and a 5lb LOL i am weak but working on it. Any 2plate anons care to comment how long it took to go from 135 to 225? kthx
>>77304835The answers will be between 1 month and 5 years to never.
>>77303853
>>77300700Flat barbell: 175lbs for 9Incline barbell: 160lbs for 9I'm 5'8 and 160lbs. Been working out for about 8 months.Hoping to hit 225 for 1 soon.
>>77304835I am not a 2 plate anon but October 2025 I was doing 135lbs for 5 reps and am close to 225 now. So I would say about 1 year for me personally but it depends on what you eat, genetics, prior experience, body fat percentage, etc.
>50+ replies>only 3 ppl capable of benching 3pl or moreNow I know who i'm arguing with in other threads
>>77304974This might be one of the most honest threads in the internet where basically everyone says they bench less than they should.
>>773049743 plate benchers are 1% of the LIFTING population. You are lying and I bet the 3 other faggots are lying too.
>>77304989>seriously lifting for 3-4 years is 1%You're coping
>>77304992You have never seen someone bench 3pl8 natural without tricks but just straight up lifting or repping it. I have seen people rep 1pl8 without necessarily detecting tricks or juice, that I can believe.
>>77305032>he thinks tricks are needed for benching 3plate The one time I locked in on bench and started bloatmaxxing I got to a 3plate bench quite easily lol btw I was literally a peak of 85kg before I started getting a small gut and stopped for other sports
>>77305032>tricks just to bench 3plkek
>>77305032Meant to say "repping 2pl8".
>>77304974why are you arguing with people?
>>77305035>>77305042Where are these 85kg people straight up benching 3pl8 easily like just taking a deep breath and some leg drive and pushing legit reps? Also sorry for appearing troll posting by saying repping 1pl8 instead of 2pl8 by mistake.
>>77305045>>77305032Sorry meant 1pl
>>77305058Actually meant 0,5pl8 I have never seen anyone rep more.
39 year old, 6"0, 102kgsBench: 120kgs 2x1Squat 150kgsDeadlift 195kgs Ohp 92,5kgs
>>7730070076kg 176cm 100kg x 4
>>77300700Hello, I weigh in at 93kgMy max bench is 165kgI am 15kg away from my goal. Additionally I squat 190kg and deadlift 230kg. Ohp is 100kg
>>77305744Finally fourth non-dyel itt
Currently 1RM 165kg.IDK about dumbbells since my gym only has up to 40kg, so I just do those until tired, can manage 22-24 a set.
>>77304992>3-4 yearsNot to do the "i benched 225 day one", but that's like 2 years TOPS. You're either a genelet or affraid to bulk
>>77305830Yeah i was talking about maingain. That’s how long it took me to reach 3pl without getting fat, I’m 6’2 205lbs
>>77300812This. The only chest exercise a man should get is from swimming.
1rm is about 200 (92.5kg) but i don't eat enough to improve it
>>77300700150kg 1rm
>>77300700I was up to 250 not including bar before I restarted my progression with a focus on deeper rom and a flatter back. Now I'm back to 5 repping 180 finally feel it on my chest though.
I'm trying to push through the final 10kg to 2pl8, any recs on form videos from anons? I've adjusted my form a few times which made the most difference, but still not convinced I have solid form overallt. 34yo 6ft4 90kg parent of three that started lifting last year
>>77300700130 pounds for 3I am 6’1 and 175 poundsI have long ass arms and my bench sucks
>>77300700about a few weeks every couple years then I remember I don't really like it
>>7730560642, 5'5", 66 kg and I match all your lifts.
>>77305821>sips My PR as a 5’8 manlet is 275 for 1 rep. I’m trying to regain that strength
100 kg 3x5 (solo)could probably do 110 with a spotcould maybe do 115 if jesus helpsi am embarrassingly fat compared to my bench though so dont be impressed
