Have barrel chest

I fucking feel you bro, bench feels like 45% shoulders, 35% triceps and 10% chest

>be me at the gym 35 yo with a lmao3.5pl8 bench
>see some kid on the bench and ask if I can work in on his sets of 3x10 with 20kg
>"S-sure" he says as he gulps down from his gallon jug of milk
>"I'm doing SS what program are you on?"
>I laugh to myself and tell him I'm doing 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler
>he stares at me awkwardly when I load on my 130kg and watches in awe trying to be me one day
>get up and leave to go take a break
>turn around and see him muttering to himself about SS and GOMAD
>fucking normies

>iktf my entire life.

My bench 1rm was 275 so not to shabby, but before i seriously trained normies and grills loved it. Having a barrel chest with a wide back and shoulders makes you look huge.

Only problem is that im 5'6, you just cant win them all.

>being large in 3 dimensions makes you look large

iktf
I can only bench 160ib though

there's easily 20-30% between a max effort single on a good day and a day when you're not really feeling it, you'd know this if you actually lifted faggot

who is this feminine insemination?

Lana Rhoades

>huge upper body
>actually have trex mode lifts

fuck

>implying people will always be on their best to lift the heaviest weight they can at every session

Looks like I picked the wrong day to start NoFap.

She's really a brap queen

First off, fucking checked.

I'm still relatively new to lifting but maybe it's your form? When I first started I wasn't feeling my chest being worked much in bench but I knew my form was shit. Now that I've improved my form my chest and tris are the only muscles that feel burned out after bench.

>he thinks he can max out on any given day

...

nnghhh sauce on that chick?

>Lana Rhoades

google her

>pornstar

IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER

see

>have barrel chest
>people always ask about bench instead of my crippling emphysema

Start using dumbbells. People will think you can bench hundreds of pounds/kgs if they see you repping the 80s/36s.

>can BB BP 107x5 kgs
>can only DB BP 35x8

wtf why, I know it takes some stabilizator muscles and stuff, but why the vast difference?

>bench feels like 40% right tricep
JUST

8 > 5

You also probably do it second. DB press also has a greater ROM and less tricep activation, because obviously if you squeeze your triceps the same way you do in bench (think trying to break or bend the bar) you'll just lock your elbows and throw the DBs to the side.

>people who have no idea what it feels like to be able to bench almost 4pl8 and think someone who could would struggle on any given day at 130kg

We get it it makes you feel good about yourself to call others insecure all the time about everything but you're just retarded.

arch your back, pin your shoulders, and lower your elbows kid. if you arent feeling it mostly in your chest you doing it wrong.

This.
Anyone else do a silent roar after a good chest pump?

u dont work on db bp as much as u do with bb bp, u goddam idiot

you should lowball them so they wonder why their body looks so small despite all their efforts

I'm in the same camp my dude. Anyone know how to up bench to match chest?

>inb4 bench more

Fuck off, retard. My all time best bench is 180kg and I struggled to get 3plate for five last week. It happens, especially after a cut.

Fucking newshitters.

>doing 5/3/1
>not winging some random brosplit

>SS
>3x10 bench
