What do you guys mean by elbow flare? They look like they're parallel to me. Which has me worried I might be making some mistake with my bench form.

Good time in my life desu. No worries, no problems, just a couple of weird kids that liked lifting, eating, and playing vidya. We all went on /fit/ and had access to decent information, so we ended up outlifting the entire football team after like a year.

pretty far fetched but nice job

>>39560485
Agreed, unless your the rock there's no way a 15 year old can do that.

>>39560556
>>39560485
I dont know when I was around 15 I had mutliple guys in my class tell me that they could bench 2pl8. One of them even was a fatass who looked like he never even went to the gym.

>>39560556
Not this anon, but I am from the rural midwest and a lot of my corn-fed, hay baling buddies could do 2pl8. I had one friend who benched 315lbs as a sophomore.

>>39556057
did 225x5 today and felt easy - th-thanks block periodization

Both of my parents were olympic atheletes. I was 6'3, and I rock climbed as a kid which required a shitload of core work. The climbing actually helped DL more than bench, by the time I hit 2pl8 bench I was well above 4pl8 DL
>>39560607
Im in a particularly wealthy part of Colorado.
The boys here are known for fashion, cigarettes and hairdressing, not hunting, dip, and lifting.
The education was pretty good, but a school of 3000 kids with 1 fight per year is a pretty shit one to go through HS in.

>>39560763
Meant vape, not cigarettes.
I got into the keef lads, cooking up some food, tryna hit 210 by christmas.

>>39556057
hahaha

dirty natties.

pathetic.

>>39560763
Yeah, there's a reason so many college and professional football players come from the midwest. Lifting and knocking up our underage girlfriends are the only things to do. Well, that and heroin.

>>39560763
from texas. Little brother squatted 5pl8 his sophomore year. Almost our entire fb team starters could bench at least 2pl8 and hang clean at least 2pl8

Can confirm, grew up in North Dakota and basically everybody on my football team could bench 2pl8 by junior year. Obviously there's always exceptions but generally people are just tougher if they grow up in tougher environments.

There's a town here called Rugby (population like 3000) and every year we'd play these guys and they all looked like fucking Brock Lesnar.

>>39556057
First time I got 2plt was my senior year of high school. Felt great. By the end of senior year I could two 225 for 10 at 168lbs. Was pretty good but being in a school of 3000 kids 2plt bench wasn't that rare. Especially for the football team.

>>39559124

>>39562077
Dyel detected. There is literally nothing wrong with elbow flare.
