Uh oh

Not OP, but do you have any tips for catching up on bench?
My progress has been super slow

Has anyone here actually hit 1/2/3/4 after spending more than a year lifting screwing around?

Took me about 4 months but started of as a 300lb hambeast.

Are you talking about 1rm or for reps?

1rm was about a year starting with just the bar and not really paying much attention to diet.

For 5+ reps, another 4 or 5 months probably

i think this is only possible if you have a physical job beforhand. Like fi you work construction or something you have a base of strength. If youre a skelly or something id say its impossible.

I think I phrased it wrongly, sorry...

Has anyone actually hit 1/2/3/4 by doing proper programming after having screwing around for a long time? Or did I just wasted my noob gains...

I played football and i got 1/2/3/4 easy after two years no lifting

you cant waste noob gains. They arent set on a timer they are set on strength levels. Just get on a program dude youll be fine.
You expect me to believe you played football but didnt lift the entire time?

Lifting for three months, but I'm a big guy (4 u) and I'm bulking on 4k calories a day.
