Who else here bench's more then they can squat?

Yep, I do. Spent most time thinking squats are fucking gay and only for girls and faglets.

>>38218850
No, but I can bench more than I deadlift, because I haven't deadlifted yet, and I've been lifting 3 weeks. I've skipped like five leg days in a row.

What's a good DL weight to start with? I can do 135lb 3x5 on the bench and 155 3x5 on the squat.

>tfw squat the same as I bench

>>38218850
I started lifting seriously in May, and brought everything up to 2 pl8. My squat, dead, and bench are all 2 pl8. But now I've hit a wall. I can't add more weight without getting sore. Do I just continue doing this weight until I get swole enough to add an extra quarter or half plate? Pls halp /fit/

>>38219017
Are you seriously this retarded? What do you think the 2.5 and 5 lb plates are for?

>>38219017
Your supposed to get sore. Also how much did you lift before May because 2pl8 is a lot more then most of us on here give it credit for especially for the bench.

>>38218850
I hit my new or of 205 on the bench. I can only squat 185 though.

>bench more than squat
>legs are still more developed/muscular/leaner than my chest

ok then

>>38219017
ayy lmao

>>38218850
I do

L4/L5 hernia back when playing varsity soccer for HS basically prevents me from doing barbell squats forever (because I'm a pussy and don't even want to risk 1% re-injuring it)

So now my leg days consist of dumbbell lunges, kettlebell squats, and running

Lucky for me I'm lean at 5'11 155 so I don't look top-heavy

I wish I did, then I'd have a pretty good bench.
Or that I pressed as much as I deadlifted, that'd have been absolutely sick.

>Bench 245
>Squat 225, barely parallel
>Chest still looks small and legs look oversized
/fit/'s "everyone can squat 4plate or they're a curlbro" meme needs to stop

>>38219262
this is me. i struggle with repping 185x5x5 (had a leg injury, was squatting 315 for reps 2 years ago), but max at 275.

my chest is tiny and my legs are still huge.

>>38218990
get the form down. dont worry bout weight. bar + 10lbs weights to start. 10+ reps. get the form down then add 10lbs at a time till 5 reps good form.

just managed to hit 3pl8 1rm for bench and i can barely squat 110kg. I dont push myself on the squat because i dont want to get mired by gay niggers. I hardly DL either because in my field of work calluses on the hands reduces my competency so bench is the only main exercise i can do.

>>38218850
My bench just surpassed my squat. I don't care. My legs are naturally big and I fucking hate doing squats. I don't care what Rippetoe says.

I squat for a Max about 255. My Max for bench is about 235. I weigh 140. So they're almost the same.

>>38218850
yeah bench 3pl8 for 3 finally managed to squat 2pl8 for 5x5.
Years of leg and lower back injuries as well as being a curl bro.

>>38219160
Yeah you look more like a dyel.

How can you guys live with yourself, I'm 6' 180lb and feel smallish

I'm some weird anomaly.

Squat: 110kg
BP: 55kg
Dead: 80kg
OHP: 35kg

Squat genetics and shitty form or something, I don't understand it.

>>38222552
>implying
I'm mirin hard, man. How long have you been lifting?

>>38223121
Whoops, meant to reply to
>>38222509

>Tfw been doing stronglifts for a little and can squat 195 5x5 but can only bench 115 5x5

Why live

>>38218850
If I am complete ass at bench presses will slowly increasing dumbell benches help prep me for better barbell bench presses?

I've also been doing dips and chest presses to try and increase my chest strength more.

>>38223097
>>38223132
you guys seriously need to up your bench

>>38223132
Stop doing this meme routine

I can and I'm really fucking upset about it because I've literally been doing SS but I was squatting with retarded form for like 7 months and basically had to start over. Also my spinal erectors are super imbalanced due to bad posture since I was a kid and that makes it really hard to keep the bar straight once I'm in the whole. I may genuinely be too stupid to lift desu

>>38223132
>weak as fuck squat
>weak as fuck bench
Looks alright to me

I don't do squats.
Squats and deadlifts are for fat fucks and skellingtons to feel like they are lifting big

>>38223097
You are quarter squatting

>>38219061
Noob here. What's this 2 pl8 shit?

>>38222509
Wtf clean your bathroom

>>38224202
>hating on deals
Keep being DYEL lmao

t. bench 3pl8, DL 5pl8, DL has done more for my physique than any other lift

>>38219017

>he benches the same as he deadlifts

>>38224214
This. I've never seen an imbalance like that except with faggot quarter squatters.

>>38224217

2pl8 = 2 45 lb plates on both sides of the bar = 225 lbs.

>>38218850

I bench more than I squat.

but I only have 1 leg so I dont have much choice lol I have to do them on one foot.

bench 225lbs (currently)

squat 155lbs (any more than that I feel like Im going to blow out my knee)

>>38218850
No but i squat almost twice my bench lmao.
Had a shoulder injury and couldnt bench but squatted like a madman.

>>38219262
>>38219292
I guarantee your legs are tiny.
I though my legs were huge when i was squatting babby weight too but they seem small now

I've been stalling on my bench for the last 4 days now. Should I deload for a bit and try again?

>>38223097
Your squat is shit tier and so is everything else.
Everything will become more balanced onece your numbers go up.

>>38224861
Eat more and check you form. Also at what weight are you stalling?

>>38218967

>squats are gay
>this is your immediate thought

anon im sorry do your parents know?

>>38224875
...

115lbs

I'm only a month and a half into lifting, but I can't get past this weight.

Im stalling on bench for the last 10 minutes, what the fuck am I doing wrong? Ive tried everything.

>>38224902
Just eat more. You should not stall at this weight. If possible post a vid of you benching.

>>38224919
have you tried not benching?

>>38218850

calisthenics fag here

can do really heavy weighted dips but i get tired from doing unweighted squats

my legs are naturally t-rex mode though

>>38222631

I'm 182cm 60.5kg and feel big af

>>38224919
Fuuuck i h8 when my bench stalls for 10 minutes bro. Just stop lifting if your progress is this slow its not worth it.

>>38224902
what program are you following? Eat more and then maybe start microloading with tiny plates.

>guy after me laughs under his breath and shakes his head

>makes a big deal about putting another plate on
>above parallel, yelling every rep, drop the weight a full inch after every set so the entire gym rings
>after he finishes he smacks his hands together so the chalk flies everywhere and proclaims "i'm done"
>walks off before reracking the weight

also i've been stalling at 25lb/ea on bench for 2 weeks, do I just need to each more or should I just slap another 5 on there and see how I do?

>>38218850
I did for a time because I had knee problems and couldn't squat or deadlift. I started going to the gym again a couple weeks ago and my squat has quickly overtaken my bench, but not by much

>>38224613
If true that's impressive anyways anon. Gonna make it.

>25kg OHP
>30kg Bench
>50kg Squat
>60kg Deadlift

I started SL almost 2 weeks ago now and I couldn't bench or squat the bar when I first started, I guess that was just my CNS adapting to the movements?

1.5 years lifting
250lb bench
405 DL
Nothing for squat because I fucked up my hip flexor and its still recovering after 2 months
But I did hit a 325 squat a while before the injury

>>38225036
you're a weighted dip

>>38224217
>>38224428
In freedom units it's 225lbs

It's 100kgs for the rest of us

Bench 120kg
Front Squat 120kg

No idea what i do on rear squats it's been months

>>38219089
This is me and how. I look like a centaur wit a 2.5 plate squat and a chestlet with a 2.25 bench
