>150lb bench press >Can't do shit for pushups

150 lbs bench is beginner at best unless you're under 130 lbs

I could do 185 before I had ANY lat/chest development.. keep adding weight before making such a thread

I'm far from chiseled, so I guess my current is fine for the moment and I'm still adding on more weekly so I'll get there.

>>42680703
Just accept the fact the 60% of this board is full of 5'8/5'9.

It just takes practice bro. Start with 5 and repeat. Then eventually you'll get to 10. Keep building on the sets and reps.

>tfw 85lb bench

>>42680665
I'm of the opinion that different body types have strengths and weakness in different areas, i.e. non manlets above 6'0 may have a more difficult time with bench and squat for that matter because of a longer distance to travel with the weight (arms & legs). If you're short and stocky throw some weight on the bar and fuck it up; if you're long and lean, put 95? ~ 105? on the bar. When you can do that 20 times with healthy form, wash, rinse, and repeat with 135. Your max will probably have caught up to 150, likely a little more, by the time you graduate to 135.

>>42680352
Did you fall for the SS meme and not do arms?

>>42680692
eat more. drink some fucking whole milk, the kind with hormones, because if you're "chiseled" at 5'8 145 w/ a 140 max, then when you hit 5'8 160 with a 240 maximum bench, you'll be like a couple of levels below "ascended".

>lifted for 4 years
>5 reps of 185 lbs bench

>>42680466
Well, to each their own. Obviously if you have never been active before you would like to start from just the barbell and focus on technique. You'll be benching 100kg in no time anyways.
The point is, don't lift heavy if your technique suffers.

>never barbell bench pressed before because I'm scared I can't do 1pl8
Whatever dumbbell press is better...right?
