>TFW can only bench press 55lb dumbbells

>>41514067
I refuse to believe that

>>41514083
It's true...

Don't feel bad, I only do 45 lb dumb-ells 3x12 for chest and I have man titties. The number one exercise for a nice chest are high/low cable crossovers. Mimics the muscle movements to a key. Bench pressing is good but nothing will make them grow then those. You'll never have a more sore chest after the first time you do them.

I can only do 8 reps of 60lb dbs

Is that really that bad

I've been lifting for six months and can only bench 125 at best

>>41514139
I think so

>>41514139
No its not
I honestly want to see to the Gyms these LARPers go to.

Ive been stuck at 75 lb dumbells for a while, sucks.

How do i get through this plateau?

>>41514312
Dude 55-60lbs db bench is quite fuxking weak...

op here benching 55's and honestly most people at my gym seated dumbbell press 70's+. I wish I was joking but either my gym is strong as fuck or this shit is weird

i failed benching the 45lb bar
dont feel bad

>>41514067
In each hand? If so then there's nothing wrong with that.

If that's after 5/3/1 on bench it's acceptable otherwise you better get to fucking work.

Same OP. I have only been lifting for a few months though, started at 35 lbs.

>>41514067
I started with 25
Now I do 95
Just don't care if people look and laugh

>tfw benched 70kg (plus bar) for 3x5 clean reps today
last time it was hard but today I was able to complete every set with good technique

>>41514355
post chest

>>41514471
How did you progress?

I'm really stuck on 55-60lbs. Can't seem to progress. Is there anything special as far as technique goes? I pinch shoulderblades and arch a bit

>Can bench 85 lb Dumbbells for 8 reps
>Can only bench press a pl8 25 for three reps

I prefer bench pressing with Dumbbells since it gives me a confidence boost

iktf, but I recently went from 55 to 60, so I think I'm slowly getting better.

>>41514531
I tried this but fked up.

>do 3 sets of 55x5
>Decide to try 60lbs
>Do 3 reps barely then drop dumbbells and kinda strain shoulder

>>41514351
Pretty much every newcomer to the gym starts out at weight like this, this board is for some reason deluded into thinking that doing 1234 in your first month is standard practice.

>>41514550
Nah dude my gym is seriously strong.

Loads of roiding girls and pretty much the standard is 60-70lbs seated db press.

Feels bad when people db press my bench weight ...

>>41514067
I hit 155lbs bench press yesterday, i made 2 reps

>>41514508
Have you tried eating more?

>>41514541
progressing on dumbbells sucks dick. i did the same thing, except it was 75 3x10 to 80 3x not even 1 rep before my shoulder was strained.

As long as you are in the gym you have nothing to feel bad about bro's

keep pushing forward

Cutting rn but I feel I should make at least a bit more gains... even cutting

>>41514641
Yeah true. I guess makes sense this it's hard to get dbs into place and then rack after when pushing your max and also because it's a steady jump of like 10% weight increase or so

>>41514067
my gyms' dumbbells only go up to 50... I have to do 20 reps each set

>>41514508
Do push ups at home. lots of em

>>41514851

Get out of Planet.

Join a real gym.

>>41514667
>tfw you feel self conscious about your low lifts but then see another anon proud of a lmao1pl8 deadlift

We're all gonna make it.

>>41516692

yeah everyone starts somewhere. we are all gonna make it.

My fucking gym has 50s, then jumps to 65, nothing in between.

Currently doing 3x10 on those 50, how many reps you think I should be doing before jumping to 65? I'd like to start at least on 7 reps

>>41516739
Hmm.

Calculator says once you can do about 15-16 reps of 50's you should be able to do ~7 reps of 65's.

>>41516767
Thanks bro.

Mind sharing that calculator please?

Doubled my scoops, not even joking.
Also every other chest day I would switch to barbell training then back to dumbbells.

>>41514067

I'm 20, 5'10 & weigh 97 pounds.


I can barely hit 20 lb dumbbells
