I'll keep this short
>Have no spotter
>Do dumbells press instead of bench
Currently doing 30kg 12x3 DB presses, what does that translate into benching? I remember 1RMing 90kg bench back when I was a newbie, while doing like 22kg 12x3.
>tl;dr: If you press X in dumbells, what does you press in bench?

C'mon, I know atleast one of you scientific motherfucker sits on a number I can multiply my DB-press with to get my aproximate bench.

scooby plz save me

Why the fuck do you need a spotter when benching? If you're BB benching correctly you don't need a spotter lel. Also think about your max bench, divide it by two and the two Dumbbells should roughly equal your max ya tard.

>no spotter

Gym aint got those, don't ask my why they insist on sucking so many dicks tho...

>Think about your max bench
But that's the problem man, I don't know my max bench for the moment because I'm only fucking around with these delicious dumbells.
Just give me a magic number to multiply with to make me feel good you fucking dinguses

>>35289502
Add your max DB weight together then you fucking idiot

No no no... It doesn't work like this...

>dumbell press 40kg
>bench press 80kg
What the fuck?

Not exactly, but roughly in the same neighborhood you mong. You're about as retarded as OP.
>>
That's not how it works. It depends on how often you do either workout. There is a certain level of "skill" involved in each exercise. Somebody who only does dB bench for years will push more with dumbells than a barbell.

The roll method works.

I guess I haven't been able to test it out, my gym only guess up to 80lbs dbs
>>
The formula is double your dumbbell press, and then add 40% of it to the value. 30kg would mean 60kg + 12kg = 72kg. So you should be able to barbell bench that for at least 10.

My DB press max is 46kg but my bench is only 102.5
46*2=92
92+18.4=110.4
A little off
>>
>>35292974
I mean this is what I tell everyone at the gym and they seem to believe me. Haven't had much complaints
>>
If I see one more dude who thinks he can't do bench presses without a spotter I'll lose my shit.
