For you natties out there, how long did it take you to reach

Three weeks

for one rep? bout a year and a half

>>39551509
I've been able to do two plate since I was 14.

i started at 3pl8

Like a year, but I cut for several months in between. Only taking bulking into account like 5-6 months

>>39551509
Started at 60kg for 1

2pl8 after 2 months or so

Just under 2 years, couldn't bench the bar for more than 5 reps when I started.

>>39551543
Lol do you even train?

>>39551509
Around a year
I rep 235 for 5 now, took me about a little over a year and 4 months.

>>39551509
fuck guys, i just started and can only do 15 a side on an incline. im fucked. i wish my parents made me do something physical as a wee lad. oh well, i can only get stronger. how bad is my strength for an absolute beginner not wanting to be beta anymore?

Took me about 2 months but I didn't really take it seriously until I got to 3pl8.

>>39551606
change of mindset will stop you being beta, /fit/ is full of betas with good bodies cause they think getting bigger will change their brain

>>39551606
can you guys give me an opinion, im wondering if im as freakishly weak as i think i am because i have nothing to judge it by.

>>39551648
thanks boss, not quite beta, just a tad awkward and misanthropic. lifting wont fix that i know but it will at lease make me feel better

>>39551606

For someone just starting it's not abnormal. Not sure what else to say your obviously weak because you never did anything strength related so it's just how it is.

>>39551690
thanks so much. i really needed reassurance. its not like i would stop because im weak, i just had to know if it was average for a beginner.

>>39551509
10,5 months to rep 2pl8 at 82kg/185cm

4.5 months but I've got short arms so my ROM is hilarious

>>39551509
Took me a little under 4 months, granted it was only a 1x bw bench

>>39551509
10 months, with 1 cut and 2 bulks

>>39551509
god that pic is so motivating. cutler had such an awesome physique

>>39551509
took me two days it was light weight bby

>>39551606
Dude, I started with just the bar and couldn'd walk for 3 days, now I can squat 1pl8, 2 months later, just don't give up and eat.

>>39551509
little less than a year for a single. I played sports and shit but was never very upper-body oriented. Definitely didnt start from zero though.

>>39551509
Took about a year? I only managed to do it once I stopped starving myself. I was so proud too. I was about 23 - 24 back then.

2 years

Started off as a 51kg manlet...

1RM about 6 months.

MFW I could bench 2pl8 before I could sqwat 2pl8

been lifting for a year now on starting strength and still cant do 1 pl8

what the fuck do you want

>>39551509
A long time. I started out at just one 10 pound plate. After about 3 years I could do ~300.

I maxed out at 4 plate a few years ago but haven't lifted much since.

Anyone can do it. You just have to do it and only focus on the progress, not the process.

Oh, I did deadlift 625 though. Come the fuck at me.

I weighed about 205 when I made it, it took me about one year of hard training. I started benching at 45kgs (100lbs) for a 6 reps. My genetics are not good.

Took me 7 months to go from 1 plates to 2 plates
Then took 2 months to get to 2 plates and a 25lbs

>5 months but I've got short arms so my ROM is hilarious
Is this a thing? I'm only 5'11'' but i have long arms and I always struggled with bench.
I though it was shitty insertions/chest genetics.

Also, looking at a few CBT here ive noticed theres people who bench 2 plate and have huge chests, and some that dont look as big(even when theyre around the same height)

Any theories for this? all genetics?

It's been four months and I still can't. And I'm planning on going on a cut soon, I'm pretty discouraged about it
