I'm happy /fit/. I can now finally comfortably bench 135lbs.

I can OHP 50 kg but can't comfortably bench 1pl8
been working on just technique and accessories for the past few weeks so hopefully I'll get there in a week or so

>>39450709
I practiced using dumbbells constantly until I was comfortable enough.
Though I had serious anxiety about trying 1pl8, I was afraid of failure or dying because I'm to autistic to ask for a spotter.

>>39450698
How many reps?

>>39450739
I did 8, 6, 4, 4.

I just worked myself back up to 135 3x5 today; my form was a little off and I probably won't be able to successfully do 140 next time, but its progress.

>>39450698
Congrats, Bro! You did good work.

I been dyel lifting for 5 years at 140 lbs now.

Still only doing 3x6 1pl8... pretty much from the start

>>39450732
how much can you bench with dumbbells?

About to try 215x5 /fit/ wish me luck

Started off and I could only hit 95x3. I can now bench 365 after 4 years of training. Keep training and you'll keep improving mate

>>39450838
I only got 3 :^(

>>39450804
How can you get nowhere in 5 years?

>>39450804
what are your other lifts?

>>39450804
are you a woman? otherwise that's really bad

>>39450877
Regardless anon, that's damn impressive. Good job.

>>39450698
my bench rep weight went from 125 to 225 in 4 months. eat good and work chest twice a week if you can.

>>39450698
congrats. i'm a /roid/ brother and benching has always been a weakness for me. have no shame in lifting only what you can, those big huge guys you might be intimidated by are not judging. we've all started at some point and encourage others.
gj congrats

Th-thanks senpai

Well done my nig. I'm creeping up to 1plate too, since I've started eating enough I've been making really good progress
