How old are you /fit/? How much do you bench? 22, 245x1 reporting in

>>38795225
was benching 150 at 16 two years ago

42. I've put up 2pl8 for one rep. I think I could do more but I'm afraid to try because my crippling social anxiety prohibits me from asking for a spot like a normal human being. So I can only attempt what I already know for a fact I can do.

My usual workout weight is 195 for 3x5.

But that was months ago and after a heavy strenuous deadlift and powerclean+overhead press session.
So I don't really know my max.

Nope. This is the real deal. Her pr team is having a fucking fit over this look it up. Its not even that bad desu

>>38795308
sometimes i feel that way. Just pretend you are acting as a confident character and just say it.
>hey could you give me a spot
Dont fucking stutter.. dont mumble it quietly.. just clearly say it. You will feel better.
Thats literally all you have to say. Pretty much everyone is in the gym is really nice. If you are starting to sperg out its better just to say nothing unless they ask you something. Then just say thanks.

24, best was 340 lbs but I cap only max 300 now

>>38796072
>>38795308
also if you keep saying stuff like
>i have crippling social anxiety
things will never get better. I know its hard to live and battle with mental health issues like that as I have plenty myself but you obviously aren't happy about it. Accept your anxiety and stop using it as an excuse for not getting where you want to be. Every time you ask someone for a spot it will get easier. The first time is the hardest.

>>38795225
>I will never lick her tiny pink nipples while she whimpers her approval
Fuck this life

Fuck, why is everyone itt so old?
I'm 18 and do 165x5

>>38795225
135x10 for 4 sets. I go full rom and shit but it's pretty pathetic and I'm stalled out.

>>38796253
What? Why the fuck are you doing sets of 10 at only a 135lb bench??

>>38796268
hes a dyel. thats what they all do. 3 sets of 10 for everything

I've noticed a strange trend on /fit/. There seems to be an abundance of people who can bench over 225lbs, and an abundance of people who bench 135lbs or under, but bizarrely few inbetween. How can this be explained? The 135lb-225lb range should be the most common.

>>38796277
i started working out 1 week ago and this is what my program says I have to do

is my trainer wrong about this?

>>38796296
how do you think i knew you were a dyel? all gym bros who go to the gym once a week for 2 months then drop out do that shit. Trainers are for retards btw. Do GS LP. Watch form videos on youtube especially for compounds. Practice your form with lightweight until you have it down then just fucking go for it. That is exactly what i would do if i had to start over from scratch.

>>38796253

I was plateaued at 115 for the longest time. Stop benching and do dumbbell press instead. Also get your inclines and incline fly in. I pushed 125 on incline three weeks after I stopped benching. I'm sure I've broken the plateau


I'm 23 I was stuck at 115 and now I'm sure I can do 1pl8

>>38796253
>doing 10 reps
>surprised he's not making progress

let me guess, lifting for aesthetics?

>>38796344
This is shit advice, if he was stuck at 135x5 for months it may be ok to use, but the guy is doing sets of fucking ten, of course he's not gaining strength. Fix that first, if he's still stalling maybe he can switch to DBs.

>>38796331
im a different person

I decided to go with a beginners program because my muscles are in a shitty form (25 years old, 6'1)

then I will switch to a body building program

>>38796331
That guy your responding to wasn't me, the guy stalling at 135. Yes, I am going for aesthetics, hence the hypertrophy. I hit the gym 6 days a week, every week, and don't miss. I have watched a ton of proper form shit. I'm making gains on incline dumbbell press and expect to make gains on the bench shortly.
>>38796344
I do incline dumbbell and incline flies. Good luck with your 1pl8 - it's a magical moment when you hit it.
>>38796354
I'm not training for strength. Why are you guys acting like this is such an insane notion, that I'm not training strength?

26. I bench 3x150kg

>>38796410
>can't bench more than 135
>complains about stalled progress
For your sake I hope you're a 5'0 manlet

>>38796365

lol he's been lifting for a week or so. I didn't have this info.

lower reps, higher weight, get that muscle nice and worked up. I suggest going w no trainer and just trying to see what's the max weight you can crank out 5 reps with (add 10-20 lbs each time until you find it, starting at your usual 135). then work on that weight and keep pushing.


If you're a pussy who is too scared to ask for a spot (I know I am) coordinate with friends to go to the gym and spot each other. (If >tfw no friends, then man up or go DB since you need less of a spot there, but come on... you can ask someone for a spot, I know you, you're great, just do it, I bet you even have friends and shit)

>>38796410
Problem is no one ever got big benching 1 pl8. I'm certain it has been proven the optimal route (even for aesthetics) is to start with a strength program or at least include low rep high intensity compounds in your routine until you get out the baby weight zone.

This is hilarious. How long have you been stalled now? top kek

Tfw hit 90x1 when I was 17 but wasn't consistent :(

>>38796446
I'm can and have managed more at lower frequency. This monday I had a go at 145 and did a set of 5. Next time I'm going to go for 145 again and try to hit 10 for a set, and maybe another set and another, whatever I can push out of me. That's how this works. The main reason I stalled was that I was fixing my form which I discovered wasn't a full rom, and now I'm catching up. You move the weight up and do your best.

And I'm 5'10
>>38796463
I'll look into it then seeing as 4chan is meme'ing at me but I haven't seen anything against it myself.
>>38796490
Again, I stalled because I found out I had to fix my rom, wasn't going all the way down, and now I'm back up to sets of 10 with proper form. It's taken me two months to get proper rom and get back up to 1pl8.

>>38796209
>20. 180 1RM
Heh, I have 10 years more and 10 pounds more

>>38796293

When I was in high school I couldn't even put up 135 one time. 25 years later that's warm-up weight for me now. The weird thing is, I don't ever remember an "in between" time.

>>38795225

show me a powerlifter who can bench big boy weight for a couple reps with no chest

then find me a bodybuilder/aesthetic lifter who struggles with babby weight.

>>38796582
I'm not claiming to be shredded dude. I'm claiming that I'm training hard. I literally don't know a single body lifter/aesthetic lifter besides like, scooby or zyzz or rich piana. I'm not sitting here claiming that people who lift 1pl8 for higher volume sets are shredded. I know that I am not shredded.

Why not just leave the bar unclipped then if you fail you can just slide the weights off onto the floor? Only place this isn't perfectly acceptable is planet fitness where you would activate the 'lunk alarm' but that isn't a gym anyway

>>38797178
for 8 reps btw

>>38796473
I was actually curious about this after reading that and so I just tried it by doing 245 reps with my pillow. I did 2 sets of 245 and both were easy as fuck, I probably could have gone to 500 without much trouble if I could be bothered. I cant even bench 245 for 1 so theres no way 1 x 245 is more effort than 245 x 1 or any 1 rep max for that matter.

285x1 but on an out of control permabulk

>>38796293
Because once you hit 1pl8 the next meaningful increment is 2pl8, and people probably don't want to post til they hit it.

22, going to do 180 next week albeit honestly I might just go 185 and get a spotter for my sets. The goal is to hit 205 by the end of the year.

225, now, that's what I'm really looking forward to.

Also, tidbit, I need to hit 205 by the end of the year because this little crossfit manlet bitch always tries to give me daggers when I look at his girl lmao, she is so bangin tho I am sorry senpai

Best I did was 2x5 at like 235 or 240 lbs this past spring.

Battled some injuries and laziness over the summer so I can't do that anymore. I'm trying incline bench as opposed to flat bench and hit 3x5 at 180 yesterday.
