Why is my bench so legit shit? It's a lot if you think about it, but I still feel like I can't tap into my power properly :(

My max is 185. My bench has been shit ever since I started lifting, it's pretty hard for me to improve on it. I've been focusing on form and shoulder strength in the meantime.

If we do not count the bar, I'm at 120.

>>35938568
Good job man, keep at it and don't be a faggot.

5'8" Just benched 85 5X5. I couldn't lift the bar when I started. 2 years of progress with multiple hospitalizations and gainz stealing meds for rare autoimmune diseases in between. I couldn't be more proud considering I thought I was a dead man. I'm just starting to get off my feet after 4 years of off and on treatment (much much more on)

>>35938617
>2 years of progress
hahaha how is your bench so weak?!
>multiple hospitalizations and gainz stealing meds for rare autoimmune diseases in between
oh. well damn, keep workin at it son

5'9 225. 315 for 9 on the bench. Took ten years though.

365 lbs is my best yet. But I've lost 30 lbs since then so I doubt if be able to even come near that number any more

Man you have no idea how awesome that is to hear. It's been one helluva ride I can tell you that.

Last time I went for a 1RM (nearly a year ago) it was 165 (pounds, not kg)
Currently can do 135 for 3x8, idk what that translates to

But I squat and diddly 2 plates for sets

80kg for 5x5
I'm 172cm 75kg so it's easy for me 'cause of the ROM. I did manage to fuck my shoulder up doing those sets somehow, despite it not feeling very heavy and having done 90x2 in the summer.

145
;_; pls be nice I just started

185 5x5
Coming up on my two years of lifting consistently so it's frustrating to not be at 225 for reps but I'll keep chugging. Have a couple friends who naturally move 2 plates even if they don't train consistently

>>35938997
I put up 275 at 230 after two years of lifting. I started off dealing with multiple debilitating chronic injuries and couldn't bench the bar for reps. Most lifters will have had much better progression, but I started from just about as low as you can and now I have a respectable bench.

I went from living in so much pain that i could barely leave my bed to feeling great all day every day. It used to hurt to walk, but now i lift heavy three times a week, train Muay Thai two days and spar once a week. Never any problems that I can't keep in check from my life before fitness. I'm happier than I ever thought possible.

Just put in the time and effort, eat a lot, and work mobility because injuries are worse than anything else in the world of fitness.

We're all gonna make it.

Finally got 225 this weekend.
Got my dad to say he was proud.

i don't know. Last week i took mixed two scoops of NO-xplode with two jack3D as a preworkout. I loaded up 250 on the bar and blacked out. When i woke up i was naked lying next to the bench. I think i did manage to get the lift though.

If you're not eating, don't jump 10 unless you usually do. You can't cheat gains, take it slower and you'll be there soon, otherwise you'll just plateau

I'm at a bit of a plataeu right now. I figured adding a little bit of weight (to a manageable degree) would help me move up and onward.

>>35944880
Don't worry brah, progress will come to you if you just keep at it.

>>35944952
Yeah, but I would add 2.5 lbs to either side. Most intermediate programs (and even beginner programs) just have you moving up by 5 lbs total every time you progress on bench

Thanks man. I appreciate the advice.

Ex anorexic benching 70 for 5 :(

I do 135 for 5x5 but today is chest and I feel rested enough to try 145. Started off at an 80lb bench 7 months ago. Goal is to hit 185 for reps within the next 6 months. Im getting there.

Checking back in to say I managed to hit my goal of 145 for 5x5 today. Feeling pumped. Bench has increased 10lbs. Gunna probably stick with 145 for another week or two then bump it up to 155 and see what I can rep out.

120lbs

I think I could do more but the problem is my left wrist has carpal tunnel or something and it hurts to bench press. Two summers ago I was told I had tendonitis, but I feel like if it's still around it can't be that. Sometimes it flares up on its own and down my arm, but usually just if I angle my hand weird or move it fast or try to lift something at an angle similar to a bench press.

I'm trying to get a doctor's appointment for it. Maybe they can fix it I dunno.

I did 250x5 yesterday at 186lbs. Felt pretty good. have paused 300 as well, but that was at 191

I'm at 295 for triple, but I just do a ton of presses and it's at 205, so just because I do tons of press, people assume I can rep 315 because i rep 205, but really I'm just good at pressing

135 for 1, assisted, heavily pumped up rep, minor tapping only assitance tho
at 129 lbs
recovering skelly
a-am I gonna make it?

>>35953089
Yeah I was weak as shit.
And my fucking school wouldn't let me into weight training. I had to save up 100 bucks and buy a shit bench set at Sears. I ended up stealing weights from my neighbors they would use them to hold their basketball hoop down outside.

I was only able to load up 190lbs because the bar was so short. I ended up hitting 215lbs a few times at LA fitness when I got a free pass for 2 weeks.

I know a guy at my gym who is cutting from 500lbs he's at 320lbs right now and struggles with 155lbs it fucking baffles me. The only reason he hit 155lbs was because I forced him to do it.

I'm at 200. 2plate is close

275 3x6, but I weigh 234. Although I am 6'4.

198 for 5 most ive ever pushed

>>35938011

I think the bench is over-rated, especially for hypertrophy.

OHP is where it's at.

So my answer is nil.

137 1 rep. Just started 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure what my 1RM is, but my volume PR is 170kg for 3x3 like 3 months ago, I'm stronger now so I think I'm good for at least 175kg for 6x3, which is scheduled for me to hit in 2 weeks

What do you OHP then?

>>35938011
Don't know exactly because I don't know the weight of the bar. 5 reps of 1 plate is pretty easy (Only been lifting a few months)

>>35938011
I'm 189 and I bench 275. I think it's pretty decent.

>>35938011
75kg 3x5

Eh, I've been lifting a month.

Been lifting since November and gains have slowed down since mid January so now I'm only adding 5lbs to my lifts each week rather than each session. Going to try and correct my diet since I normally eat 2200-2500 so I'm gonna try and hit 3K daily.

>>35953015
>205
>REALLY GOOD at pressing

Haha you fucking faggot I'm dieing, your realize 2/3/4/5 is the standard lifts one should have by year 3 of lifting right?

Unless you started 100 lbs over weight or something, or just started the gym a year ago your not anything special fag


I litters hit 2 plate ohp at 16 as a recovering fatass like lmao what the fuck

>>35954675
Bar's 45. You lift 135 for 5.

>>35953089
Are you fucking me? Replace 18 with 16 and turn 215 to 315. But I probably got alot fatter than you sooo

>>35955012
Litteraly *

What the fuck is wrong with this board? Every single post about deadlifts and squats is like 4pl8 for reps yet 2pl8 bench or 1pl8 OHP is a lot for you when irl i see its opposite, everyone benching over 2pl8 yet only huge guys squat/deadlift as much as you claim to lift here

>>35954790

Yup. I've been lifting for a year, but only six months ago I started bulking. I'm at 5 reps x 2pl8. (To be fair, I had been lifting for 7 months straight ~2 years prior)

I've been running a slightly modified version of Madcow's 5x5. It has worked great for me.

I recommend it

245 lbs x 3 is my max, my bench is trash compared to my other lifts desu senpai

>>35953071
You are my goal now.

Got 390 for a single right after my last week of smolov. 190 lbs bodyweight.

>>35938011
Is that fat breaking bad-man?

190 for reps

50, there's no barbell at my office gym so I have to use dumbbells and I have shit stability

>>35938185
I could barely bench the bar when I started and now I can rep 235x5. Just stay consistent! I still remember how pumped I was when I hit lmao1plate, and there is nothing quite like that. (2 plate was neat, too, but 1 was a huge mental barrier for me).

I can't bench the bar. Is there any hope for me?

When stating your lifts are you meant to include the bar's weight or exclude it?

>>35961447
When you put a 5lb plate on each side of the bar are you only pressing 10lbs?

>>35961463
yeah but it's not like you can lift the plates without the bar so i don't see why you include it?

230lbs but I've only been benching for 2 months.

>>35938027
This is my current goal. Right now I bench 200 for reps. What do you do when you're stalling on bench bro?

>>35962249
Eating more and getting fat. Guarantees you will progress.

120 kilogram for 5/6
140 for 1

215 for 5

But since in on fit 275

405 for 6. 475 max.

breddy good hey

185 for 5, 225 for 1 rep max @ 280 BW

yes I'm fat, that's why I'm tryin'. Only been going to the gym for about 9 months now. Haven't lost weight, in fact I gained about 10 pounds, but I lost a lot of bodyfat. My form is pretty good, only issue is that literally never exercised all my life and tryin' to make up for that when you're older is hard as dick.

90lbs
and I've been lifting for months. Mostly fucking around but making progress in every other lift.

Don't do SS while eating below maintenance.

220lbs 3x5

Right now, it's 85, but I will get it higher. I could probably do 1 plate, but I don't want to rush it.

>>35938011
only do incline, hit 225 for 6 recently on it, got help on the 7th.

pretty nice so far from barely being able to do 115 on incline and with shitty form 1.5 years ago lol

Been going to the gym for a couple months. I last only did 90, but I could do more than 12 reps of it. I'll do 100 next time. Never tried to see what my one rep max was but I just want to get to the point where I'm using 45lb plates man, I don't like being this weak.

225x11, 290 1RM @ 210 Bodyweight

Going for 315 by April, in the middle of Sheiko 29 31 32 and I havent done 1RM for a while. pray for me anons

Just hit 135 3x5 today. Started SS two weeks ago

>>35938011

a coke and a cheeseburger.

fucking hell.

if you can't bench 225x5x5 within about 6 months at +18, you're a fucking failure

>>35938087
So you got it for a double

>>35961472
When you curl an ez curl bar are you curling -10kg?

>>35964303
Dont be a shitter, the problem with that logic is that no one starts with perfect form and routine and diet and structure unless you have a coach.

If you are 18+, or worse yet 25+ and are using youtube and /fit/ you have to filter out a lot of garbage to find out what works for you.

When I think about how much time I wasted my first year it makes me ill.

I thought my bench was good until reading through this thread
>tfw 155 lb max, 115 lbs 3x5
But it's ok because I weigh 135 lbs r-right?
>tfw 5'5"
Should I just end it? ;-;

>>35964657
You me brah?
>tfw 5'4", 130lbs
Incline bench 155 3x5

>>35964303
it took me 3 years of training to get to 240 3x5.
granted i went weighing 250 to 175 then back up to 200

205 @ 132 5'4"

180 x 5
Feels good to be 9-10 sessions away from 225 when I started at the bar.

155. I'm so fucking weak. I will never join the 2pl8 club

How much does the bar weight? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

>>35938011
145, trying to hit 150 tomorrow. SS not going great, but you know what, I'll take it. Better to collapse halfway through a race and crawl the remaining distance than to stop running and give up the first mile.

170 for 5 reps today. hoping to increase to 175 next week

>>35965090
45 pounds

lmao2.5pl8 :^)

My max is 285lbs with no assistance, I weigh 170 and am 5'10"

Bench is my proudest lift

>>35965136
No. Better to find a pragmatic solution to your problem rather than just grinding it out for minimal results

>>35965298

What do you squat, DL, and OHP?

150lbs

6ft3 205lbs day 3 of starting strength- 105lbs. I'll make it bros.

>>35965322
Not sure on maxes, but I squat 3x5 @ 245, ohp 3x6 @ 135, and DL @ 285 1x5

I need to start doing alternate grip for DL or something. My grip strength can't handle it

>>35965350

solid numbers, mirin that OHP. Wouldn't be surprised if your DL went up doing mixed grip or using straps

>>35965387
Thanks bro

>>35938497

I'm doing about that on a 5x5 at least three times a week, plus dumbbell flys and tricep extentions, we'll make it soon breh

Went fot a pr today.

>>35962249

I achieved it towards the end of my bulk, and have been able to maintain it through my cut but admittedly it's more difficult of a lift now that I'm cutting

275lb max at 175lbs

Other lifts kinda shit tho

Oh, and I'm 6'5" 250lbs, just for context

>>35938029
Hi /plg/

>>35938533
I was exactly there before. My issue was being afraid to adjust sets and raise the weight. Accessory chest stuff like DB flies and DB heavy bench helped me fix it. Ironically I no longer deadlift.
