I finaly joined 2pl8 bench club after 6 months

tfw 11 months in and can't even bench 1 pl8

You'll get there don't fucking doubt yourelf. I was pushing 45kgs when I started

>when you started
Iv been going for 8 months

Age?

if you a natty fatty you need to eat better, if you a no belly skelly you need to eat better

>did 4x10 2pl8 in high school no problem
>haven't been consistent since then
One of these days I'll beat my dad's lifetime max of 350

Tfw 16 months and still 145 bench

Nice! I'm on my way up too!

You mean 5x5.

This is bait

Congrats! I'm stuck at 197 lbs 3x5. Working on it.

Uhhmmm, no sorry sweetie I think you mean 10x10

I hit 1,5pl8 bench on like, my 3rd chest day. I think I would have reached 2pl8 for a one rep max but my wrists hurt so I figured I'd rather avoid injury.

is 6 months a long time to hit related?. I've been lifting ~one month and am at 75kg is this good progress.

same brah, i want to kms

>185 x1
Can I hit 225 x1 in 5 months?

>6 months
>finally

breh it took me 2 years, but at least i was also deadlifting 515 at the time

>it's been two years and still stuck at 205
>tfw messed up so badly that I'm still not past 2pl8

>tfw bench is my worst compound lift
>2 months and still can't even do 1pl8

I dunno if I just never use my chest or if I have shit genetics but my bench is shiiiiiiit

if i can hit 80lb DB press x 8 do you think i could do 2pl8 barbell

Hey are you me?

God it took me 3 week so embarrassing but at least got there finally :)

Congrats brah. Almost reached lmao3pl8s after nearly a year of lifting (i started last November)
Hope to reach it before new year's

Y'all need to eat

Run smolov for next 6 months and achieve 315

for 1 rep? Probably. Why don't you try and find out?

reached 1.5kekplate for 5x5 in 3 weeks of training

stuck at only 4plates on squats though can't pass 8plates dedleys

Povertybench boys where we at

Nice E stats

are you me?

>2 months in to strength training and the 1pl8 is still beyond my grasp

I'm a fucking chestlet I swear. my Biceps started kicking in near the tail end of my reps last time I tried.

fucking easily jesus chrsit

dumbbell bench

just fucking lift more often fag

ITS TURBO TIME

I've been lifting 4 years and I bench the same as you

how have you fucked up this badly? if you've been lifting for 4 years you should easily be able to hit 225 for reps, unless you're a woman in which case it's not as bad, but still.

hit 3 plate bench after only 2 weeks. That summer vacation really set me back this time bros

4 months in, 115 bench

man I fucking hate benching & OHP because my numbers go up so fucking slowly. I can't even OHP 85lbs FOR 3X5 cleanly :'(

the most i've ever benched if 145 for 5 and i've been lifting for about 13 months

Is this b8? How fat are you?

what if you're a skinny fat?

>2.75months in
>max bench 61kg 5/4/3

GJ. I've been training bench twice a week for 1 year almost and i finally hit 5x5 2pl8s, but my ohp is lacking tho.. 50kg 5x5..

I've never benched a barbell, only DBs, am I retarded?
Also how do you convert DB weight to barbell weight? Lifting 25 kg DBs is more than 1pl8 but how much more?

uhhhh

GJ now the hard part starts
>Tfw been stuck at 132.5 kg bench for last month.

Well I remembered when I started working out I stalled around 21kg dumbbells on the flat bench. After that I went to the gym and got to 65kg 1x5 (not true 5rm, since I got some more sets of 4 after that). After that went back to dumbbells and started with 24kg for 3x8 or something like that. Now the biggest dumbbells I've benched are 36kg for 3x3. I am estimating my 5rm with a barbell if I start hitting the gym (for at least a month to get used to barbell training again) will be around 80-85kg without stalling. You can't tell for sure. I think there was some way to estimate DB to BB posted on bodybuilding.com or something.

Nice, welcome to team awesome
