Tfw finally hit 2 plate bench

I always differentiated it with "One rep max" and "Working weight" but yeah it usually means their one rep max. Technically, they're still correct

>130 lb manlet
>started my lifting journey when I could only do 60 lb
>I maxed out at 250 last week
>I'm so happy
>only 10 more lb until it's 2x my weight, I'm so happy

I used to think it was a lot but before becoming Veeky Forums not even lifting just a semi physical job I could bench 225 after a month. I guess most people start at sub 150lb I guess? I weighed 185 when I started. Do most people just literally start for bone and fat?

None of this is true lol

its never gonna add inches to your dick bra

>2pl8
>225lbs

nice b8

>20% over bodyweight is barely above average

how tf do you figure that? Average for what? It cannot be the average person, the average person doesn't even lift, hell the average person is clinically obese in some states.

...

I started lifting as a fatass last september, managed to reach 135lbs (started at 95) but keep stalling for weeks now. I've been eating at a 500-1000 cal deficit since. Will I stop making any progress while on a cut?

The average novice lifter can do a 1 to 1 ratio on the bench press. So yeah it's not that impressive.
