Anyone else here reached the 2 plate bench press? I did it after

>tfw was ten pounds away before shoulder injury
>haven't lifted in 2 months, probably can't bench press for at least another month

Some day.

225 is the average bench club m8. 315 is starting to get into the big league

This. 225 is the expectation for someone who lifts

315 is (I've been lifting for a little while)

The average person can't bench close to 225 pounds

>>41243707
The average person struggles with 40 kg on the bar. After I've become fit, a few of my friends were so impressed that they start to get fit too. Everyone of them started with 30-45 bench.

Hit it for 3 last session. Felt pretty easy, could have gotten 5 I think but didn't have a spot.

Been lifting for 8 months not including the lifting I did in high school 8 years ago

Can't bb bench cause it fucks my shoulders

The average person can't bench 125 for 1 rep

>>41244900

Bullshit lmao. average is probably 165

315 is truly impressive. 225 is what every male can achieve fairly quickly. After that most will never break 225 plateau

>>41243543
315 is the starting to get serious club
just wait til you hit 405

>>41243675
Where are all these people benching 225+ in the first five months in the gym? I've been to a couple dozen different gyms and the amount of people benching 155, let alone 225 for reps is like 1/12. The average bench weight I see is 135 for varying reps and the heaviest bench I've seen in person is 475. Ever.

>tfw hitting 2 plates for 10 reps with suicide grips
feels good man

>>41245046
>tfw can push much more weight with suicide grip but too scared to do it

I weight 165lbs at 6 feet, should I be putting up 225 natty? Been lifting serious for 6 months and only at 145lbs (1 plate w/ 5lbs plate). I do this for 3 reps and 8 sets.

Am I gonna make it?

I'm an actual personal trainer in a University gym and almost every single untrained male starts with 115 for five with good form. Sometimes less. Rarely more. If they did sports in highschool or something they usually start at 135. In 1 year of personal training (not a lot but more than you) I've never seen someone start with 155x5 with good form, and people have tried.

225 is like starting weight, lad. I used to do 20 reps of that on incline when back in the day. Is it a struggle for manlets or something?
t. 194cm

>>41245254
>192cm checking in
Started with about 18 reps at 215.
Guess height really does matter

>>41245254
5'5" here and I started off benching 265 for 5 reps

>>41245254
>>41245315
>>41245360

How much did you weigh when you started putting up 225?

>>41245370
Over 260.

>>41245209
Eight.... Sets.

>>41245370

320 pounds. People don't actually weigh less than this and try to lift, right?

5 months in and im almost 1pl8
am i gonna make it?

>>41245254
>cute bench bro
>yeah bro i used to lift too, you know
>back in the day i warmed up with your PR dude

we all know a guy like this dont we

>>41243570
this is me too... I think at best I hit a double at 225 and a single at 235... I hit 275 on the smith machine just fucking around though... not sure really what to think about that one other than it was great because I never have a spotter

when do i need a spotter for benching?
why do i even need one in the first place? what can happen if i dont have a spotter?

>>41243529
225 incline bench for one
260 flat bench for one
155 lbs
>haven't lifted in four weeks
Fuck injuries I'm gonna have to start all over now

>>41245013
225 really isnt that much, I still do 135 for warm up sets and 205 for my 5x5... 225 is a 1rm for quite a few people and I am relatively small at 5'10 185 so someone around the same height but closer to 200 should be able to put up a few extra pounds.

The other day I had a guy claim he could bench 300 lbs before he was on roids, is that even possible to do naturally?

>>41245686
You joking? People were benching 300lbs long before roids were invented.

>>41245707
No I'm not joking I've been lifting for 4 years and have a 1 rep max of 255

>>41245686
I benched 405 natty pre gear, just started frauding I'll be hitting 500 really soon here, I was pretty much stalled in strength and body comp and I'm getting old, it was time to give it up or hop on cycle, Feels great though

>>41245732
Are you like 5'3"?

>>41245732
Weight?

>>41245013
I agree with you. I did a 3x5 with 225 at my gym today and this Asian chick benching to the right of me was super wet about it. Maybe because I'm rugged and refined now that I think about it.

Wait 225 Club is 1RM?

Fuck I guess I already am in it 4 months in, I thought it was for working weight.

>>41245492
I don't know what's a more appropriate question, why is your flat BB press so low or why is your incline BB press so high?

can i reach 225 bench on starting strength?
or do linear gains stop before that?

>>41245912
Yes you can. Add chest accessories for a quicker ride.

This thread is so full of shit

I bench 150 and I'm stronger than most people I know

>>41246028
>>41246246
I'm the opposite. I've never actually done barbell bench. I started out at Planet Fitness and refused to use the Smith machines, so I got in the habit of doing dumbbell flat bench and incline bench, even after switching to a different gym with better equipment.

I do 60 lb dumbbells on flat bench for 3x10. Nothing to brag about. I'm going to start benching with a barbell soon and I'm curious how different it will be.

>>41246372
Iktf bro, I'm way more swole than most people I know and I can only bench 205 once

>>41246386
I hate barbell flat bench, I can lift more weight on incline barbell bench and my gymbro who's been lifting way longer than me says he's never seen someone stronger on incline bench than they are on flat bench

>>41246422
There's a section in Dom's book about being stronger on incline than on flat bench. You'd probably have a giggle.

>>41246477
What's it say bro I don't know what his book is

>>41246308
What u at now m8

>>41245254

>225

is that including the weight of your fully-absorbed tampon? come brag when you actually start lifting.

>>41245409
8 sets isn't a lot when you're going for triples

I've just hit 225 too! The only difference is that I just hit it in 4 months...
5'8, 140
Skinny as shit.

225 is not impressive for lifters, but for normies it's amazing.

>>41243529
wait when you guys refer to 2pl8 you're only talking about one rep max? this whole time when people post in stats threads that's ALL one rep max? 1/2/3/4 is one rep max?

jesus. either you're all pathetic as fuck or i'm way stronger than the average guy. i've always thought those were weights you do for reps, 5x5 at least. i probably got to the equivalent of 1/2/3/4 in like less than a year then lmao

>>41246570
Obviously 1 rep max, you don't go around telling people your working weight you autist you tell them your max

>>41246570
>less than a year

obviously less than a year hardly anyone keeps lifting more than a year

Damn this thread is making me feel good about benching 135 at 5'6“ 140lbs. Monday I'll be going for 140. 135 was not even that hard so I know I'll be fine.

>>41246595
>140

Are you over 20? How's that possible to be so light as an adult, I'm 5'7" 185 and I feel small

Everyone in this thread has to be joking. Anyone who doesn't have a genetic defect should hit 2 plates in a year. I hit 2pl8 bench about 8 months in and I wasn't even that dedicated. Do people seriously think 2pl8 bench is something that takes multiple years to achieve?

Wait, holy shit. Are you serious?

I've always thought that people were full of shit when they said that 225 was weak. The biggest guys at my gym can barely bench 3x5 255 pounds. Now it makes much more sense.

i was literally a wow playing nerd who just barely got laid in highschool late senior year, and i benched 225 after some training

225 is "ok, so you have a dick" tier

>>41243529

I did for two complete reps and barely missed a third.

That was about three months ago and I havent tried since. But It was a hell of an accomplishment after like 8 months of solid lifting.

So much bro-science, so little fact. Check out www.strengthstandards.co for a fairly accurate view of your strength given your weight and height. The Epley algorithm is considered the best and is pretty accurate at a variety of body fat % at a given weight.

Bench standards are notoriously varied. Are you pausing at your chest? Are you using leg drive and a good arch? Are you geared or using a belt? Comparing two numbers to each other is literally a waste of time unless they're both from powerlifters from the same federation, same weight class, benching to the same standard with good technique. Learning how to use your legs and low back can add 50-80lbs to your bench without any increase in actual strength and is perfectly legal/expected for serious lifters.

6 months from being a 75kg 5'8 manlet to 70kg still a manlet
125kg 1rm max
115kg 5x5

That was 18 months ago, been lifting for 2 years and I've switched to PPL high rep dumbbell routine with boxing. I probably can't bench 115kg anymore confidently without a spot.

Got my bench up to 440 touch and go (405 pause), then I hurt my shoulder unracking a fucking warm up set at a shitty gym because the pins were too low and far back.

I took some time off and I've been to heaps of physios and they just tell me my shoulder is tight and give me the same stretches and rotator cuff exercises that I have been doing for like 6 months now with no improvement.

Every time I get to 225 I get pain. I still have the strength to bench like 385 but if I do my shoulder is crippled the next day.

Dunno what do. Doctor for mri or something or directly to some kind of shoulder specialist? The physios seem useless it's not improving.

I hate my poverty bench.

I don't know if it's because I've been lifting on a deficit or because long arms but I feel like I can barely break lmao1plaet for 5 or 8 reps.

I don't know what that translates to in terms of 1RM but it's sad.

>>41243529

>>41249278

Yeah that sounds smart

It seems like common sense, feel like I've almost been in denial that something is actually wrong so I've been putting off taking it more seriously, but I should just do this

The number of males betwen 15-65 is 2,234,860,865 (or 30%). Just by benching 40 kg you are already in the top 30%. Considering then that the majority of the population lives in asia or africa and don't have access to the gym or proper nutritiun, you are propably somewhere along the top 5% with just 50kg. And then you have to consider that the vast majority of the people never have seen a gym from inside and have no idea what proper nutrition is, except for the vegtebales meme, you are already 1% with 60 or maybe 70kg. 100kg is very high for the normal human beeing, and even for the normal gym goer (i rarely see anyone doing 80kg, let alone 100kg). 100 kg may be small in the powerlifting or bodybuilding world, but you should not forgett that they make up maybe 0.001% of the human population.

Mirin dem calves not miring you doing rack pulls and fucking up perfectly good bars

Welcome to /fit/ where everyone benched 2plate+ for reps in their first 6 months.

Considering how many of you rep that shit like it's nothing why is it that you never see anyone even go past 80kg in most gyms.

>>41248976
Yes.

>>41249776
It depends on where you lift desu, in commercial gyms I had an old man tell me that 70 kg is far too much weight and I will hurt myself when I was a novice. Meanwhile in black iron gym >>41249712 I can count on one hand the number of people that can bench less than 2pl8

>>41249776
why do people who go on fitness forums for information improve faster than people who just throw around weights without a clue?
I'm stumped desu

>>41249722
Was actually doing wrist curls superset with overhand bicep curls

>>41249904
Cuz e-stats, /fit/ is full of e-stats.

Go to any cbt and notice how no one lifts the numbers claimed by random anons.

Like less than 1% of here even bench 3plate

>>41245013
>Where are all these people benching 225+ in the first five months in the gym?

They are fat as fuck.

>>41245686
It's absolutely possible. I know a couple 300lb benchers who are definitely lifetime natty, and that's just in my social circle.

>>41245912
>can i reach 225 bench on starting strength?
> or do linear gains stop before that?

They depends entirely on your weight and age.

If you're over 200lbs and under 30, it's probably possible.

If you weigh 150 and don't want to gain a ton of weight, you will stall hard before reaching 225 bench on SS

>>41249415
There's no way you can bench 1pl8.

>>41249938
>if I can't do it, no one can!
2 plaet isn't all that much, especially if you played footy and that as a kid

Don't waste time thinking about 225, it's just a fad. Set you goal for your actual body weight. If you weigh 165, then you should at least be able to rep that once, if you can't set that as your goal. If you can rep you weight, work on repping your body weight 10 X. Remember this, with size comes strength, with strength comes power, you cat get one without the other. Set you own reasonable goals and don't worry about the fads, keep it basic keep it simple. Eat good, plenty of rest, 3 to 5 workouts a week, don't over work it and your BP will go up. DO NOT max all the time try you one rep max once every 3 months to gauge your process. And change your exercises every four weeks.

I did a 2pl8 AMRAP today
>did 8 reps

And who actually cares about a one rep max unless you are a power lifter. I know guys that can bench well over 300 but they can only rep 225 eight or nine X. I challenge them all the time, I rep 225 26 X. It's called muscle endurance.... I don't know what my one rep max is, I work my way up to 315 X three to five reps, then I am done on BP that day. Again, forget about all that one rep max crap, set you goals for reps, with size comes strength, with strength comes power.

> be able to bench lmao2pl8
>/fit/now says only manlet lift less then 3pl8

There is no end to this, is there ?

>>41243529
