First time benching today. 135 for 3x5

My first day in the gym and 1pl8 was warmup

I'm a grill that just started benching a couple weeks ago. I started with just the bar-- I can only do sets of 3 with 2.5lbs added on each side, but can do sets of 8 with just the bar now. When will I improve?

>>40599880
>"normal" 160 5'10'' guy who has an office job/uni classes can bench his own weight

I'm pretty much that and I can. And I've only got a '38 chest as well. I haven't even been lifting but two weeks. Granted, I can only bench my weight once, but I did it to prove to myself I can literally carry my own weight.

If you can only do 1 pull up at 160 pound bench it means you're a fat tub of shit. I agree OP, the average man CANNOT bench 160 pounds. The people benching 160 pounds most likely weigh 200-220 pounds, meaning that the average person cannot bench their bodyweight which makes more sense.

I consider a 150 pound guy benching his bodyweight far more impressive than benching 180 pounds but being a fat fuck

There are not a large enough group to sway shit.

The norm is surprisingly low for some lifts.

I don't know how many pull ups I can do because Planet Fatness only has a weird pull up set up (no truly horizontal bar), but I can do 6 or more pullups on that weird thing unassisted.

I would assume if I was completely untrained it would probably be around 160. Though when I first started lifting around 14 I was doing like 80-100lbs.

I don't think it's too far fetched the assume 160lbs is the average for men in their 20's. I would have thought it to be around 135-145lbs though. My GF who doesn't lift is able to bench around 100lbs for 1 rep. Shouldn't be far off to assume an untrained man should at least be able to put up 135.

>>40600773
>tfw 132lb manlet

>>40602261
No. Benching 2pl8 is done by building up your upper body more than anything else. People on 5x5 routines struggle with the bench because they don't do sufficient upper body work.

How the fuck is it possible not to?

Even if you have full retard shoulder impinging form, you can't stop your chest being the prime mover in the bench. You're always going to be using your chest.

>>40599972

I'm sure they could deadlift more than you if they actually tried.

I got my bro friend into strength training and he went from 315 deadlifts to over 500 in like 6 months. Sandbagging deads is pretty common because everyone has this retarded fear of blowing their back out.

>>40604073

>>40603978
>>40604135
Your statement exactly proves my point. If you are benching/repping 100 kg you SHOULD have an amazing chest, or at least not a shit one.
In other words, your bench form is probably lacking and you're not benching that 100 kg predominately with your chest

>>40604193
100kg isn't a great bench, even for 5-8 reps. That's like saying someone should have great quads if they squat 3pl8, or big delts if they press 1pl8. Most people with a really good chest are capable of benching 140kg+ for reps, even if they mostly work below that.

>>40604265

>>40604193
>If you are benching/repping 100 kg you SHOULD have an amazing chest
Lmao no you SHOULD not. In my case it's a mix between low weight (which 2pl8 is to anyone who is not a gym casual) and bad pec genetics. Then when I say my chest looks like shit it's probably a fair share of body dysmorphia speaking, but it certainly is not amazing. Twinks that do pushups at home before bed have better looking pecs than I do

This all started when anon claimed that people not posting pics of their chests somehow disproves that they're able to bench 2pl8. I claimed this is pointless because I for example rep that weight and my chest is absolutely nothing special.

So yes, my chest is partly bad because I don't lift impressive weights, and partly because I have worse prerequisites than most for actually getting a good chest. I never claimed that you can't have a good chest from benching 2pl8, just that posting pics to prove you're able to lift that weight is meaningless

>>40604265
It's not. It's a respectable to good bench depending on how big you are.
But having a decent bench doesn't mean you'll have a good chest.

>>40604320
I don't know where you work out but I do at the Swedish equivalent of Planet Fitness and all the respectable regulars rep 2pl8+, so I wouldn't call it an impressive weight

>>40604370
Well that kinda looks like me but I'm a fatter version without abs because of too much bulkan from twig mode. My chest is still worse though

>>40601391
60 - 72 is normal range.
100 bpm resting heart rate is ridiculous

>>40599880

I've never actually believed the "fat guys can automatically bench more without any sort of training" shit. You still actually need to work at it.

>>40601333
Lel eat more. I benched the whole gym off of the ground including the people inside. I don't even work out

>>40600811

All depends on your size. There were always those 125lb losers who could do 50 pull-ups during the presidential fitness exam.

How come no one dead lifts with a hex bar? I switched to it after I had shoulder surgery and I find the motion so much more natural.

>>40604705
Would try but my gym doesn't have one

>>40604705
Should be called a softcock bar, you great poof

>>40604705
Hex bar deadlifts don't activate spinal erectors in the same way regular diddlies do. The movement is more akin to a hack squat.

garbage stat. no average guy knows his one rep max.

i've been lifting for 4 years and i have never tried my 1 rep max on bench. i just dont see the point, it improves on a weekly/monthly basis.

but average lifter, let alone average guy definitely does not bench 160lbs FOR REPS (and im not even implying it's remotely lot).

>>40604863

>>40604265

The problem is that fit is either from Norway with everyone being 6'2 or taller or a poo in the loo Indian where everyone is 5'6 or smaller

100kg bench here in Latin America is respectable

>>40604097
>not totally sedentary
This is what people forget the most. If you have been doing nothing, you will find it harder to hit those numbers because you don't have the muscle mass to do it. Heck, you are struggling with the bar itself to complete the movement.

Best advice I can give you is head down, eyes on the prize and grind, grind, grind. There is no easy way out guys.

>>40604959
Save it, people here have only read SS and Medhi's crap and believe that strength guarantees size. It's the other way around - your size guarantees your strength because strength in a 1RM is a display of the force that the muscles can produce (strength).

How do I know? I was squatting 140kg and benching 100kg for reps at 70kg while being 191cm tall. I was looking DYEL as hell.

Lol the BP is a display of total upper-body strength. BP is a shit building exercise, though. You can get away with not benching if you know what you are doing.

This has been proven time and time and time and time and time again. You will never find a big guy who is weak but you can find small guys who are brutally strong. People fail to understand that powerlifting - the sport, not what you spew online - is a weight class sport where your training has to make you stronger without causing hypertrophy otherwise you will go up weight classes. This doesn't mean that powerlifters don't do hypertrophy but it has to be limited.

Every time someone wants to go up a weight class they do bodybuilding. GVT was so effective that even Abadjiev, the patron-saint of high specificity, was using a variant of it in the off-season to get lifters to move up a weight class. If you want size - train for size. This isn't rocket science and I truly hope it isn't a novel concept.

If the "average guy" normally worked 10hr shifts and was working so intensely that they could lift their own body weight from working their job alone, the US wouldn't have an obesity rate of around 66%

I've gone from barely able to lift 66lbs when I started I'm at 155lbs now and I'm barely 18 160lbs shouldn't be that hard to get to gradually overtime

if you can't use 2pl8 as a work set from your chest to lockout for 5-10 then you should

1) stop wasting money on supplements
2)eat more
3)seriously question your training

That's why it's at the highest end for average. Some people naturally have a faster pulse rate than average of what you'd think.

For example, I run and lift, and my resting pulse is usually 75 when I am at the dr. Granted, I might be nervous, but I'm also on a beta blocker and have been for years.

Higher weight lower rep, what's your 5rep max? 4 rep max? Do sets of that till you need some one to pull the bar off your chest. I was stuck on that 2plate peak for the longest time would just do my 4rep max and aimed for 20 total reps. Once I hit that a few weeks in a row more weight same principal eventually got to past it. Eat more, found that a little extra weight made lifting heavier easier

>>40611604
I guess I'm thinking healthy and not really "average". I don't think I've ever been above 72 in my entire life and from what I remember from health class, 60 to 72 is the normal healthy range. Maybe 60 to 80 even.

But if your benching like 120kg and cant dead lift at least 4 plates your a cuck.

I mean they do but not a lot more. For squats and deadlift they do a lot more though.

I had an obese redneck in my weight lifting class in high school and I weighed probably 200 lbs less than him and I benched more than him at first.
