How long did it take /fit/ to reach one plate OHP?

>>40568816
Approximately 9 months. I started shoulder pressing until I was able to press the bar, which took about 2 months. Then from bar to one plate took about 7 months. I've been told I have good shoulders but 1 pl8 PHP should be achievable within one year.

The first day.

It's been a year and I've only gotten to 195 for a 1rm, so that 2 plate keeps looking further and further away.

>>40568832
You couldn't OHP 45 lbs at starting?

Are you a girl or somethin or am i misreading

That seems abnormally low

If so that's actually v inspiring.

>>40568816
I still have never been able to

Highest i ever got was 115lb for 5. Maybe after next bulk

>>40568816
I can bench 22kg DBs, maybe a little higher if I had higher weight.

I have no idea what that is in BB terms

Took me 2 months, started and could only do 10kg.

>>40568816
What is meant by one plate?
The gym i go to has plates ranging from 5kg to 20kg

>>40568976
135lb

>>40568927
45 lbs is just a bar without plates, silly.

>>40568927
not him but I had to start with 15lb dumbbells. could do like one rep of the bar, but it was literally my max.

>>40568985
each plate is 135lb or both combined is 135lb?

>>40568995
1 plate=45lbs
1 bar=45lbs

1 bar + 2 plates(one on each side)=135lbs

Just maxed 4 reps at 135lb. Feels good man.

Next goal is to hit 180 bench press

>>40568991
I kno

Are transitions from "complete weakling who cant open a jar of pickles" to decently strong actually commonplace

>>40568994
Y'all makin me feel better about my 95lb bench earlier today. How long did it take you to get from 15lb DBs to 1 plate?

>>40569015
>Are transitions from "complete weakling who cant open a jar of pickles" to decently strong actually commonplace
^this, I had no idea fully grown males could be unable to lift 20kg over their heads

>>40568976
1pl8 is 20 kg on each side

>>40569028
I hit 100 for 3x5 on tuesday. I'll be doing 105 saturday. That took about 6 months but a lot of that was dicking around and not eating enough. In the last month it went from 70 to 100.

>>40568816
1 month to a 5rm of 135,
8 months so far and got 1 rep with 205.

>>40569029
I'm certain this is at least partially my own insecurity here, but I sincerely thought I was in the bottom 5 or 10% of men, strength-wise. I did not know there were brackets lower than the one I am currently in.

It's reassuring to know I could have it worse.

>>40568927
I played video games my whole life and did not participate in any sports. Started lifting as a skinny fat 150 100% no muscle skeleton man. Starting bench was the bar + 5s to and squatting the bar + 25s. I started shoulder pressing 20s while seated.

9 months later I've achieved the 1 and 3 in the 1/2/3/4 and am closing in on the 2.

>>40569083
That's fucking inspiring progress. post pics.

>>40569121
I don't have a before picture which is one of my biggest regrets, though I'll deliver a current in a second.

>>40568816

Around a month or two, started with 80lbs now I can do 1pl for 6 reps

I tried to include my legs in the pic but my bathroom is too small for me to get a good shot. Currently 6'3 202 lbs and started 150 lbs lifting on SS.

When I started my caved in chest had an incredibly pronounced collarbone that rose from my body like Mt Everest. Ignore the chest/back/shoulder acne its not from steroids, its due to my shitty skin.

>>40569231
I got acne all over too man
I wish it were from steroids
I'm not really sure what to do about it desu. I wash often, change my pillowcase, drink water, dont drink soda and shit. Feels out of my control, so trying to focus on lifts.

At least with that, shit will get better so long as I fuckin do what im supposed to do. Acne feels like drawing straws.

Leggings don't just slip into your ass like that. She purposely flossed those leggings right up to her anus. Whore

Never, my elbows and wrists are fucked and I'm close to an heroing.

>>40569259
I've just got pretty bad skin genetics. Have a history of warts, eczema, and every kind of blemish you can receive.

I could be better about changing my pillowcases/shirts before bed but I figure I'll leave that for when I start lifting for aesthetics in probably another half a year.

don't remember the timeline but it's the only thing I've hit in 1/2/3/4

right now I'd be lucky to OHP a soup can since I'm recovering from a separated shoulder

>>40568816
I can't remember a time where I couldn't. I'm naturally very strong though.

5 months

Got 1pl8 OHP a week ago for 3 reps. Thought i could barely do 1. Few days later i hit new 265lb 120kg bench PR. Wtf i love OHPs noaw

>>40569231
LEL?

You literally don't look like youve ever lifted.

I'm only at 1pl OHP and not even close to 2/3/4 and I look like I actually lift.

Which means:
- you're lying
- or you have a ridiculous cns

>>40568816
>OHP
more like BROHP

First time I pressed was December 2016, so 3 months ago.
>30kg x2

Skip forward to 2 days ago
>60kg x5

So 3 months of pressing, but I've been lifting and benching for longer.

>>40568971
>Can only bench 44kg
>Can OHP 60kg after 2 months

wat

i can ohp almost the same i can benchpress and row.
is this normal? I just started 2 months ago and 've always been dyel.

>>40570341
You're new so all your lifts are super low, so it's fairly normal.

After 1 year you should expect to be somewhere around 1/2/3/4 which is a slightly skewed but generally standard ratio of lifts and strength

>>40569028
>>40569044

How the fuck are you niggers stuck at 100lb bench?

I literally jsut started a month ago and I can bench 121lbs (55kg) for 3x5. I'm 6'1 and weigh over 250lbs.

>>40569932
his shoulders look relatively developed faggot

he never said he looks good, just that he has 1pl8 ohp

>>40570396
Oh you dear dear imbecile.
1pl8 is 135lbs or 60kgs

>>40570427
what are you talking about

>>40570404
You're a big fatty. Even raising your arm overhead uses more muscular effort than those anons output during 1rm squats.
Cut these scrawny fags some slack. One of them might have pretty eyes and a slick throat.

>>40570430
Dude what the hell are you talking about

>>40570427
oh my bad i was quoting
>>40569029
just forgot to link

i know how much a pl8 is m8 B)

>>40570433
>250lbs being a big fatty

M8 i'm just fucking fat. I ain't a hamplanet.

I went to the gym for 4-5 months last year and after all that time I barely progressed to what I'm doing now, and I feel like my bench is just going to get higher from here.

>>40568816
This is supposed to be hard? I just started working out a few months ago. To guage my 1rm with ohp, I worked my way all the way up to 140lbs.

>>40568816
I'm closing in on it now (55kg for 5 atm) after starting in November as a 138lb 6' skelly. Could do 27.5kg straight away, play a lot of racket sports so maybe that's why my shoulders weren't crazy weak.

Only at a 75kg bench though. Chest muscles pls

>>40570430
Take one bar.
Check that it is not female bar.
On each end apply requisite plate dosage.

Enjoy.

I dont get it how can you idiots almost bench the same as OHP thats just retarded

>>40569231
Traps are decent, but rest of you doesn't look like 9 months of lifting. Keep going though, see where you can get to over the next few months.

Ps focus more on chest and chest accessories

>>40570483
see >>40570452

also do female bars really exist lmao

>>40570475
Bench and OHP directly compliment each other, you'll likely go up in both together

>>40570527

You can spot them immediately, you just probably never called them women bars.

It's the thinner and lighter ones, they're often also slightly shorter.
They weight 10kg instead of the standard 20 iirc

strangely, I hit 1pl8 ohp first, about a year ago now. I recently hit 3/4 for squat n dl but still wokring on 2pl8 bench, currently at 1.5pl8

>>40568816
1 month maybe, I started out with good upper body strength due to a shitton of push up variations before I touched a barbell.
Now I am OHP 1.5 pl8 for 1 after about 1 year of training
Problem is when people state OHP numbers you never know if theyre really strict

>>40569011
>2017
>still counting the bar

Not gonna make it.

>>40570404
They could be young. When I was 16/17 I just hadn't reached the level of muscle that every other guy had. I could barely bench 125 despite lifting with my friends all the time and eating generally the same stuff as they did. Also you're benching half your body weight. That's piss easy for anybody who has been in a gym for more than a few weeks.

ohp 67kg x2
bench 36kg dumbells x6-8

lifting since september

>>40568976
Bar with 0 plates weighs 20kg.

Bar with 1 plate is 1 20kg plate on each side, so 20kg of bar + 20kg plate on the left + 20kg plate on the right.

Recently 25kg plates started to show up more, but 20kg is the agreed upon standard of what one plate means.

From the bar? 5 months. Tore my left felt when I hit 115lb the first time

>>40570953
Except 4pl8 dead is near advanced level while 1pl8 ohp is barely intermediate

Only novices spout the 1234 meme. Maybe try lifting b4 posting here

>>40569932
He's 6'3 202 lbs. That looks exactly like I'd expect for a 1pl8 OH the Press

>>40570314
Benching DBs is harder. it's around 2/3 of your normal Bench

>>40568816
It took me a couple of month of being lazy with my training to do 1plate ohp, but it hasn't gotten much higher than that. I've been going a couple of year now and am too lazy to ohp as much as I should.

>>40570953

Vitamin D3, K2 and Zinc fixed it up for me fairly quick.

I had pretty bad facial acne at age 23, it's all but gone now except for some redness and scars.

Take 10,000 IU Vitamin D3, 500-700mg K2 MK-7 and 50mg Zinc per day.

They've been a thing for decades you dumb dumb.

>>40570404

Dude. You're 6'1 and 250. You should be moving some weight just because you always do.
I'm 5'11" ( I lie and say 6. It makes life easier.), and 165 and don't even lift, but I could pump out sets at 140 the last time I tried, but I work outside. It's all about what you make your body do.

Bout 4 months after I started pressing, but I had done other shoulder work before then.

ATM I can press over my bodyweight 180@170 but I can't even bench 2 plates. Rip I guess

Mildly, typical DB is 15% less than BB for chest press. That still doesn't explain why the fuck he's able to press more than he can bench, let alone by so much.

My baby don't mess around because she loves me so

>>40571459
Being fat helps with moving things.

Hey bro i used to have absolute shit elbows and wrists. Do mobility work for both. Do 10x10 full ROM band pushdowns and curls with the lightest band as a warmup for elbows. Look up a youtube video about wrist mobility work. Dont kys, I was stuck at a 135 bench because of my wrists and elbows and now 3 monts later im pushing 200 qith no pain.

I've gotten up to around 1pl8 OHP multiple times, only to get the same wrist injury and be unable to lift any more due to pain

I'm going to the doctor about it soon

>>40569755
Looking joocy brah. Congrats.

>>40568816
braaaaaaap

>>40569014
How are you hitting 1pl8 OHP for reps but not even close to 2pl8 bench?

Train your bench more anon

Around 7 months of actual lifting. I'm at month 10 now and my max is only 160.

OHP moves slow as absolute shit.

>>40568816

who's this semen demon

>>40570404
It makes it exceptionally easy to move heavier weight when you start out if your over 200 lbs, you forget some people start out literal Auschwitz mode

>>40568816

Could I theoretically do 1 plate ohp if I am doing seated dumbbell press with 24kg dumbbells?

Never tried desu.

>>40568816
It's impossible to one handed press 135 pounds.

>>40571811
Ty fampai

>>40568816
I could do 1pl8 ohp naturally. I have strong person genetics.

~210lbs @ 6 feet - low body fat

2pl8 is definitely a real challenge. After 3 months I'm doing 5 reps of 185. Still far from 2pl8

1pl8 ohp should come around the same time as the 2pl8 bench. For most people this will take about a year and a half of hard training. Bigger guys will get there faster, smaller guys will get there more slowly, but long limbed individuals will also get there more slowly and stubby or thicc guys will get there faster

>>40573110
if you are doing 8-10 reps then maybe. in my case, i was able to hit 1pl8 my first time OHPing with a barbell (with a bit of a struggle), and i was able to hit 5 reps with 60lb dumbbells at the time.

>>40572860
I'm using bro-math, but bear with me.

Your lifter will have between a .598 and .688 ratio of Press/Bench.

Most trained people falling around .67

4 rep of OHP = roughly a 145 1RM.
I'll be generous and say he's benching 170.

He's at .852

Holy cow.

For reference the curve goes like this
>Untrained P/BP=.628
>Novice P/BP=.67
>Intermediate P/BP=.688
>Advanced P/BP=.598
>Elite P/BP=.635

But none of this accounts for how often you train one relative to the other.

People that REEALLY emphasize the press report something along the lines of .7 - .75 ratio (that's benching between 1.42 and 1.33 as much as you press)

Wew

>>40569932
but are you 6'3 though?

I have been doing only strength training from the start, so it'd make sense I've developed mostly my nervous system. I only started to notice changes in what I look in the last three months or so and I don't look all that different.

I do get a good rush whenever I see some dude mentally size me up on my warmup and confirm I'm dyel to himself. If I could look dyel and OHP 2 pl* and DL 6 pl8 I'd 100% love to do it.

Probably about 18 months for a consistent 3x5.
That said my first 8 months was all cutting so strength didn't go up much after the noob gains.

I can do it for 12 reps now tho.

I've just started moving past 1pl8. Needed a lot of volume to go from 115 to 135. Hit 145x3 yesterday. Here's how I program this shit:

95x5, 115x5, 130x3, 145xAMRAP, 135x3, 130x3, 120x3, 115x5, 105x5, 100x5

>>40568816
It took me ages to get to 1 plate OHP 5x5 reps perfect form.

But I could have OHP 1 plate for 1 rep max after about a year and a bit. Maybe less.

Been lifting almost 3 years and OHP 72.5kg 5x5 perfect form at 70kg bodyweight

>>40569755
Your OHP is slacking a bit mate. I have the same bench as you but OHP 72.5 5x5 perfect form.

>>40570404
As a lanklet, it's because of the eternal

"BUT I ALREADY EAT A LOT" bitching. The moment I stopped continuously googling "Why am I weak at ____?" Or making threads just to argue with people telling me to eat more, and lying about eating 3,500kg+, my bench jumped 40 lbs in two weeks.

>>40574232
Kudos on the gains, but

Your intensity will have to increase.

I got to 145*5 the other day just to see where I was at.

On my last intensity day I went from 145 for 12*2 to 150 for 12*2.

>>40574303
72.5kg?

>>40574313
so true

>>40574477
Yeah KG.

>>40574720
Post shoulders plox

3 months after i started my OHP was 80kg and my bench press 100kg.
How fucked up am i?

>>40574856
80kg OHP and 100kg bench? Did you play any sports before lifting?

>>40574217

I reckon it will take me a little over a year. I was a 135lb auschwitz mode when I started though

>>40568816
One minute.
Or I guess, the day I knew what one plate was.

4 years in and still not able to do more than 50kg.

I do bw I guess I could do 45 kg.

OHP of 1PL would basically be my bw if I inhale some helium and am empty stomach.

What? I've been lifting for 1.5 months and I can already bench 185 for 5 reps

Are we talking one rep max 1pl8 or for working sets?

6 months for working sets, like 2-3 months for a 1rm.

When my bench was 100 5x5 my OHP was 65 5x5. And my shoulder were pretty developed.

There's no way this guy is 80kg shoulder pressing in 3 months lol. Anyone who gets to 80kg shoulder press in under two years (natty) is training hard and genetically abnormal
