I finally benched 2 pl8s!
>>77540975Congrats bro
>not interlocking the platesi hate you
Good job
Benching 2 plates made me realize how much roidtrannies should be prosecuted more by law enforcement. How the fuck was Ronnie Coleman a police officer?
>>77540975Congrats anon that's swell. I'm stuck at 50kg and 2pl8 seems like super far away. I am 64kg and don't want to bulk though.
>>77540975No, you pushed it up and down in a smith machine. Get on a real bench and you won't be able to do that much because you lack the stabilizing muscles to control it, you're like at a 205 bench max.
>>77541009Smith machine doesn’t help you bench more. Advanced athletes smith bench and flat bench the same.
wait this guy >>77541009 made me look and indeed that shit is a smith machine, fuck you OP you did not lift the weightanyway, tips on reaching 3pl8? im stuck at 285
bloody benchode...
>>77541010I had to lift at planet fitness for a year because my other gym changed their hours and when I went back to a rack I was shocked at just how little carry over a smith machine has. If you do both I'm sure it's fine but totally ignoring free weights makes every compound lift feel so unstable and require so much more effort.
>>775410092pl8 on a barbell isnt the same as 2 pl8s on a smith machine but 225 on a barbell is the same as 225 on a smith machine
>>77541061Same here. I used to go to planet fitness, worked out for half a year, and when I switched gyms I was able to load less than half the weight I could do on the smith machine.
>>77541074Huh? 225 extra on smith is heavier than 2pl8 on barbell. Also OP clearly only benched 2pl8 on smith not 225
>>77540987This. It doesn't count if you don't interlock the plates.
>>77541010>Advanced athletes smith benchdude its pink, grow up
