Every normal male should be able to bench press 1pl8 the first time they step into the gym

That simply false. If you're skinny you won't.

Yes, just eat a lot.

Start pausing at the bottom (when it's resting on your chest) with 60 lbs total. Count to three, then press it up. If you can get 7 reps this way,,, add a 2 1/2 lbs plate to each side and repeat.

Also,,, do dumbell presses, but keep one arm extended while the other arm lowers the weight. Have someone spot you the first couple times because you don't want to smash your face.

not to be mean, but this is disgraceful that there are grown men that cant push less than their bodyweight.

our ancestors would be disgraced 2bh. anyways, the answer is yes. just try hard >>40561694

Wrong.
I started with the bar, doing linear progress I got ro 1pl8 in about 3 months. But I did have an unrelated injury and some pauses due to traveling so 2 months solid would probably get you there if you stick to the program and eat well.

I agree with you, it's very sad. Happily you can change that by eating and lifting.
