I FAILED ON THE LAST REP AGAIN FUCK THIS FUCKING PLANET I WILL

What do you think about the following:
>swapping legs for extra chest for a week or two
>halfrepping to move up the weight
>keep banging my head against the wall
>suicide
?

Improve your technique.

just drink a fuckton of coffee and listen to nightcore to get amped like the rest of us

i did 57.5x4 and failed my last rep today too

spooky

>>35758930
Try doing pushups as accessories to other workouts. Don't give up bro you will surpass lmfao1plate.

>>35758930
Keep at it man, you need to conquer it.

About 6 years ago the only thing stopping me from having 4/3/2/1 plate lifts was bench press. I hit 97.5kg a few times but failed 100kg many times.

6 years on and it still bothers me. Dont do the same.

6months lifting
53.5 kg for 10 reps

Good or no?

>>35761660
it is pretty good if you had no athletic background previously

>1pl8
kek, hope you're 14 OP

>>35761660
No

The advice I've heard about overcoming plateaus is if you want to improve a specific lift, just do it more often. Worked for me and deadlifts.

>>35758930
EAT MORE. I cant believe this hasn't been said yet

>>35761660
>1month
>60kg for 5

[spoiler]ty for making me feel less pathetic

>>35758930
>eat more
>rest between sets longer
>increase weight by 1kg instead of 2kg

it's like you haven't even bothered trouble shooting

>>35758930
>57.5kg
>tfw i was repping 1pl8 at 14

>>35761660
5 months from couch mode
85 kg 3x5

>apply yourself

>le I did better in less time meme
This thread's full of cunts. How about you drop the ego and help the guy out?

I had a similar problem. Personally, I found that dealoading helped. I fell for the /fit/ meme of lifting for numbers instead of strength. Once I realised that an attitude like that wouldn't get me anywhere, I lowered the weight and felt a way better burn. Managed to progress smoothly after that.

Even if you're able to do a weight, you have to think about whether you can actually do that weight. If your form suffers from going too heavy when you can't handle it, your lifts will plateau and you'll feel like shit. You've got your whole life left to lift, don't worry about not being the best right now, it's not a race.

I'm not the only one?

>>35758930
Are you female? Because if you're a bloke the noob gains should catapult you past 60kg.

>>35767619
>tfw i rep 65kg for 7-8 on hypers

I can understand lateral side raises but come the fuck on retard how weak are you?

>>35767660

>tfw only bench 57.5kg after 6 months
>tfw have put on 14kg bodyweight and my other lifts are progressing well - I squat 110kg and deadlift 130

i slowly crawled up to a 57.5 bench from 22.5kg over a long and difficult period of time. Then i come here and read that most people start off at 1pl8

I kind of feel like giving up sometimes, not going to lie

>>35758930
Eat more faggot. I was the same but I ate more and broke through the barrier. Funny thing is, once you do you'll probably go on a run and smash quite a few PR's.

>>35768908
i started at 40kg bench, the highest i ever got to was 47.5kg after about 3 months, stopped going to the gym for 2 months and now i've been stalled on 42.5 for 3 weeks

am i ever gonna make it?

maybe people just need to wait for their muscles to build and not be hung up on numbers

or maybe your arms maxed out

What app is that, friend?

>>35769429
Bump

>>35769214
You'll make it if you stop quitting. Being fit is hard but incredibly simple

>>35767676

>>35767626
No there are plenty other faggots out there that don't like to listen to real music either

>>35767626
Brehs me too

>>35769463
i had to stop due to doctors orders because i started getting heart palpitations

i'm eating about 150g of protein every day and lift 3/4 times a week but i'm barely progressing

why

>>35767626
What's a good nightcore starter pack?

>>35769506
a rope and a chair

>>35769499
Oh. Well it's not quitting if the doc tells you to.

What's you chest routine? And what are you benching for reps usually? Often it helps to focus on benching a little bit more for reps and putting a lot more focus into strengthening your stability muscles for a particular lift. That way you'll use your main muscle groups less for balancing the weight and more for moving it.

>>35769506
>>35769510
This to be quite honest with you family

>>35769522
i lift sundays, tuesdays and fridays

group A is squats, bench, seated cable rows
accessory work: leg press, dumbbell rows, incline bench
group B is assisted pull ups, deadlift, shoulder press
accessory work: reverse dumbbell fly, barbell row

i'm sure my form is correct, i lift with somebody who is experienced

For reps? I can bench 5x5 for 40 (i think) and my current routine is doing 3 sets of warmup and then doing 3x5 but i've failed on the last set of 42.5 the last 3 weeks in a row. the second week i failed earlier than the first

i'm 5'10" and 68kg but was severely underweight (about 50kg) until late 2013

's good, i recommend it

>>35765083
First bench press session after 6 years no training.
70kg x 8, 80kg x 5.

5 months to get to 85kg? Did you not apply yourself?

>>35761660
abysmal

>>35769612
>i've failed on the last set of 42.5 the last 3 weeks in a row.

Eat more, sleep more

>>35761660
3.5 years I think, benching 100 kg for 5 reps.
>tfw stalled at 80 for 6 months or so

>>35766498

Best advice

>>35769612 here

i just finished a set A workout and my bench has gone to 45kg although i failed on the last set, but at least it's moved. 5kg added to my squat too and it was fine so it's not nutrition so much, i added dumbbell press today too so i'm hoping destroying my chest will help with some more gains

>>35770075
i already get 9 hours a night but i'll cram more calories in my gob

just take 400mg of caffeine 40 minutes before lifting

its all psychological, once you break it once it will be easy

>>35758930
>been stuck at 175 for a week
>turbofailed after 4th rep
>Didn't even get the roll of shame right because I was so determined
>some bro had to run over and rescue me from anheroing like I should
>gymbro then manages 4pl8 like he was born to do it

I just want to hit 225. I'll be happy doing just that for 6 months if I can only hit 2pl8
