Is pressing two 55kg dumbbells significantly better than a 2pl bench?

absolutely brvtal mog

>dropping them
you didn't finish the set

Impressive he didn't explode

>>77319834
i hate fags that dont know how to properly put their weights on their lap
>>
>>77319834
Are you retarded? First off, dumbbell press is significantly more difficult than bench press. Second, 55kg= 121lbs. 121×2= 242lbs, 2pl8 = 45lbs×3 = 135lbs, if it's in euro standards it would be even lower weight. So, yes, retard, pressing two 55kg dumbbells is WAY better.
>>
>>77319834
It doesn't matter what he does considering he looks like that
>>
his form sucks. he probably couldnt do more than 35kg with proper form.
>>
>>77321298
dont be jelly
>>
>>77321287
Except 2pl8 is 5 x 45lb
>>
megamind aged poorly

>>77321287
Dude its per side. 2 plates is 4 45s, 2 on each side plus bar.
>>
>>77319834
Why is it that he looks dyel but is able to lift more than the fit-looking guy in the background (albeit with difficulty).
>>
>>77321399
Dude behind him is tearing that 225 and did 2-3 shortened reps at the hardest part of the lift with ease. His 3rm is at least 120kg, he outlifts overgrown gollum
>>
>>77321394
>>77321337
you don't count the bar, 2pl8 is only 180 lb
>>
>>77321421
>you don't count the bar
Ah, so you just levitate the plates with your mind
>>
>>77321421
>>77321287
Based. Do you count an invisible bar or the handles when lifting dumbbells ? No you dont. Same for barbell. The barbell is a tool to lift the discs and nothing more.
When you put money in a wallet do you also count how much you wallet costs amongst your liquid net worth ?
>>
>>77321427
Also you don't count the bun when counting calories because it is just something that holds the hamburger and toppings together, and you don't count chicken legs either because they're just the things that hold the chicken up
>>
>>77321421
Then I'd say pressing 2 x 45 plates per arm is harder than pressing a 55kg dumbell per arm. Needs real balancing to keep the discs in place. Fingergains will be godtier.
>>
>>77319834
Man got a dome like tel aviv
>>
>>77319834
If those are really 55kg dumbbells then that guy must be like 7ft+ tall

Im 5'7 and i bench the 45kg dumbbells and theyre huge
>>
>>77319834
Dumbbell bench press is equivalent to more or less 120% of a barbell bench press, so 110 kg dumbbell press is about equal to 132 kg with a barbell.
>>
>>77319834
Oof all shoulders on those.
>>
>>77319834
>not failing
Fail more

>5'7
Ahahhahhahahahahhahaha

hey man im 5'9" when i wear dress shoes okay??? >:(
>>
>>77321421
You only count the bar, retard.
>>
I mean they say that dumbbells combined + 20kg bar weight is what db bench would transform to in barbell bench. In theory, in reality you can twist your technique much more with db and there's zero practical use for such "calculation". Might apply quite accurately for 2pl8 or lower tho.

>He believes in imaginary calorie little men that come together by the thousand every day to make him fat
Lmao !
Shiggy diggy
>>
>>77321427
Fucking retarded logic, but I cannot deny it's incredibly based
>>
>>77319834
No the only good thing is that u can naturally bring them together when u push up a little bit so it's easier to intuitively activate your pecs u look like a faggot I'm tired of pretending to like people fuck you
>>
What an absolute retarded down syndrome abortion of a thread
>>
>>77323384
