>he couldn't bench bodyweight day 1

>>40800452
I finally managed to do a 1pl8 trap bar rack pull after 5 months in the gym.

>>40800804
one pl8 means a 45lbs (20kg) plate on either side of the bar, so in total 135 lbs (60kg). 2.45lbs+45 lbs bar. 2pl8 is 4 plates * 45lbs + 45lbs bar=225 lbs (100kg). And so on..

>>40800804
Plates refers to 20kg or 45lbs weights, ie. the largest ones. When someone says they are lifting 4 plates it means 4 per side. This, and the bar is 45 lbs (20 kg) so when they say 3 plates they mean 315 lbs (140 kg) and 4 plates 405 lbs (180 kg). Got this from one google search. Lurk more

>>40800452
reached lmao2pl8 bench last night

>>40800843
>>40800851
Ty.
How did it take 10 months for this bastard to reach 1 plate? I have been going to gym for 8 weeks and today I got 1pl8

>>40800452
I fucked a 9/10 saturday. My PR was 7,5-8/10 before that.

>>40800946
Hiw tall are you? And did you do any sports before? Hiw much do you weigh?
Took me almost 7 months to get to 1plate but I never ever did any sports before that. The only thing I dod ws being a fat fuck that played wow, drank soda and eat all day.

>>40800452
did 110kg diddlies for 5 then 3 reps

>>40800804
U put 1 plate so if someone says 1 plate that means 1 plate on one side don't be retard 1 plate not balance need 2 plate or fall badly

>>40801054
I'm 185cm/84kg. Dunno what's that in amerimeasures, probably something like 0,9 doors and two bags of rocks lmao. So a skinnyfat.
Didn't do any sports, although I was not in a terrible shape either. Everyday biking and occasional pull-ups at the park, that was about it before started hitting the gym.

>>40800452
i hit 2pl bench after 6 months of lifting consistently

>>40801330
On a cut, though? I've been lifting for 10 months but about 8 of them during a cut/weightloss and I'm at 1pl8 bench.

>>40801379
how much did u weigh big boy

2pl DL yesterday, feels good man

>>40801429
I didn't start lifting until about ~185 around August. Lifted until about November when I "bulked" for Nov and December, and am now cutting at ~152.

>>40801523
how tall are you

>>40801523
meant to reply to
>>40801524

>>40800452
for me it was way faster to get from 1pl8 to 2pl8 than it was to get from 0pl8 ( just the bar ) to 1pl8.

it took a full year for me to go from 20 to 60 kg on bench, only half a year to go from 60 to 100 kg just recently.

>>40801523
2pl8 Diddies was fun for me. That I never seemed to struggle on when cutting. It's the upper body that I'm lagging on.

>>40800452
today I dropped 1.5 plate bench on my head on my last rep

luckily I didn't block the pl8s so I managed to let the pl8s drop on one side and then flip the barbell

it's a PR since I never managed to almost kill myself so far

>>40800946
usually you report your 1RM, so 1.5 pl8s for 8 reps = 87 kg 1RM (more or less) = more than 2 pl8s

>>40801958
>87 kg 1RM (more or less)
*101 kg 1RM (more or less)

>>40800452
110kg deadlift, 55kg bench, 90kg squat after training properly for about 3 weeks

>>40802086
>100kg DL (1x5, started at 90kg because it felt like a good number and am doing linear 5kg/session progress, idk how far I can go up, 100kg seems pretty manageable)
>70kg bench (3x5, doing 2,5kg/session linear)
>55kg ATG squat (3x5, doing 2,5kg/session linear)

also going to the gym for 3 weeks
Are these 1RM values? How deep do you squat?

>>40800452

Any man over 190 lbs should be able to bench one plate from day one. If you can't, get off the bench and do some push-ups.

>>40800452

Finally surpassed my strength levels 1 year ago when i stopped lifting for 10 months.

Now every workout im making actual PRs, not just regaining lost ground.

Feels good!

red = deadlift
blue = squat
purple = bench

Everyone here is a liar. I've never seen a first time dyel bench a plate.

Unless your very heavy and have previously done chest work like boxing.

>>40802245
>over 190

Fat fuck

did 1rm testing 2 weeks ago, been lifting for about a year.

70kg/87.5kg/165kg/180kg

really happy with these except my bench, working on breaking 100kg bench right now and will test again in a month. My form was shit so I hope by fixing it I will get there.

Fuark vynz brah making all kinds of gains

>>40800452

3pl8 DL on a weird-assed rep scheme. We're talking like 80 reps in less than 30 minutes. Sounds like crossfit fuckery, but it has a realy oldschool basis. Sad thing is it works even better for squatting, but applying this to my squat would probably be a heart attack

Last time I tested my rm it was 4pl8 using only 235 on this, so I figure I can smoke 5pl8 and change without a problem

>>40802728

can you give out your routine m8

>>40801299
there's your answer dumbo
