What am I doing wrong?

I can't bench press more than 35lbs

nothing, we all gotta start somewhere man.

which routine are you doing? :)

But user, the bar is 45lbs

How long have you been stuck there? what is your diet like?

How much does the bar weights on a smith machine?

YOU COUNT THE BAR??

10lbs
Yes, you count the bar. You lift the bar with the rest of the weight. The bar counts.

no. only pussies count the bar to pad their stats. this is known

I guess everyone at the Olympics is a stat padder then.
Well actually...they're stat padders for a different reason.

So I'm actually lifting
35lbs+35lbs+45lbs =115lbs
?????
can you confirm???

Wait, you thought when people posted their lifts it was just the weight added to one side?

bump

HOW TO DELETE THREAD

lmao

...

B8

Yes. You count the weight on both sides and the bar.
People only say things like 1plaet or 2plaet because it's stupid 4chanspeak. You don't actually say that you lift 45lbs if you lift with a single 45lb plate on each side. You say you lift 135lbs.

Wait so when the rest of you guys say in like cbts and stuff that you bench 225, you guys are counting the whole thing? I've been saying that I lift 225 pounds and I'm only talking about one side of the bar.
You guys are fucking weak, holy shit.

>tfw when newfag only benching 25 lbs

All my life I always thought people only count the weight of one side of the bar

WAKE ME UP

In with you op. I don't know what happens to my shoulder when benching. My other lifts are fine but this... I'm starting to use dumbbells.

Don't give up op

I hope to God this is a troll thread.

it is......well i hope so too

>counting the bar

>he thought people were putting 300 lbs a side and then squatting

Some of us are

>inb4 plg is that way

Why wouldn't you count the bar?

fucking this

the bar is part of the weight that you lift, why the fuck would you not count it?

so when i go on symmetric strength i put in +20 to my bench and OHP ? WHTTHFCK?

Kek 10/10 holy shit

Well, I can see how he'd think that famalan since that's the way it is using pl8

what the fuck kinda logic is this?

Would you weigh yourself fully clothed because that's the way you usually are?

Counting the bar is lame

Is that his mom taking the picture in the mirror lmao

your clothes don't weigh 20 kilos tho

not an argument

hello stefan
