How much can you bench press?
I'm stuck at 200 lbs for the past 3 years.

>>76378001 (OP)
600
Lbs

>>76378001 (OP)
what are you doing to increase your bench? or what have you tried

>>76378922
Lately I’ve been buying those flour tortillas and shoving them down the toilets in supermarkets in poor neighborhoods

>>76378001 (OP)
1 rep max? 286lbs (130kg), been training for 2 years

>>76378001 (OP)
PRd 3pl8 and then stopped going so hard on it.
Vary your shit up. Dumbbells, pin press, different grips, tear downs, pyramids, incline/decline

>>76378938
Poor or colored?

>>76378001 (OP)
350lbs
I was stuck at 300lbs for 5 years. That happens when you’ve been lifting for well over a decade

>>76378938
Yea, I saw this post earlier.

>>76379010
what made you break through the plateau?

I only have dumbells and I will do sets of 20 with 45lbers.
I don't know what my actual top weight would be.

Stuck at 26kg each side of the bar for 5 reps almost two months now
Been lifting for a year and started from basically just the bar

hi sharty

>>76378001 (OP)
I don't know how much I can bench press because I've never tried it.

>>76379240
then how many weighted dips can you do?

>>76379249
I can't do weighted dips or dips, I can only do assisted dips with high weight (meaning lower weight). I can do five pushups though.

DYEL newfag here. I was stuck at 85 lbs. for a while, mostly because of poor diet and inconsistent exercise. Got more serious about, hit 95 lbs., and after about a week or two of that, got up to double digits. Am I gonna make it?

>>76378001 (OP)
I dunno I just chest press machine 100 lbs 3x12 as part of endurance shit.

>>76379022
No idea. I don’t even seriously workout right now. Just maintain and casually lift with my wife yet somehow my max went up. I did put on about 5lbs too

>>76379257
>>76379240
do you want to try bench? get someone to spot you to give it a try, its one of the most enjoyable exercises

>>76379262
yes bro, good work

>>76379262
You mean triple digits. Dumbass.

>>76379314
I can't talk to people

everybody lies about how much they lift on the internet

>>76379262
you're gonna make it bro
fellow DYEL but I got to 135 3x6 back late may and I'm already up to 150

>>76379342
good cope bro

>>76378001 (OP)
Same

>>76379092
hi

235 for 5
i want 3pl8 eventually but need to shift focus to squats first since my weak hamstrings are holding me back there

>>76378001 (OP)
Give me money ill make you strong as shit

>>76378001 (OP)
You kinda gotta find the angles and form to build productively to get the best results, you tell me what youre even doing so i can go make food but ill legit at least give you a handfull of tips.

I can only 160 for 5 and I've been lifting for almost 3 years now but I'm 5'6 140lbs, I just don't like being fat to bench big but I feel like I should've been able to at least 225 for this time frame, /fit/ told me manlets are supposed to have an advantage in benching but I have long arms so it's the opposite, I'm a failure

>>76379965
>>76379933
Give me some help I'm this anon
>>76379970

>>76379974
Lemme make food and shit ill make a few posts but uh i main prison bench wide flatback, strict incline, suoer close grip thumbless mp no tris and also btb dbs and flies about the same. You gotta get on high weekly volume, keeping your muscle stimulus at 100% amd eating a lot.

>>76379997
>arched prison bench for inner chest
>flatback for wide chest
>incline size upper and inner, good outer chest work
>steep incline wide to wwird shove mps for feomt delta inner chest shelf

But hinestly im best just doing flat bench varians mostly asits heavier than hyperteophy upper chest as i can do it heavier easier from weakest point then buikd to strict.

>>76379927
Could you say they're hamstringing you?

>>76379927
Thats not even bad at all, to lift super you wanna rest for up to 1mo no lifting at all, you keep a cns running average amd it builds up to insane fatigue if you were say sprinting 5x/wk and lifting 2x/day sometimes 5x/wk. Youll see better than noob gains past there as you now have more muscle and produce more test/hgh.

2pl8 x 9 and barely look like i lift at 180 lbs bw

25kg x 8
you're pretty strong huh? well, I'm not!

140kg every day
150-155kg on good days
78~kg body weight
100kg x 20 reps was my max
Been 4 months that i tried to break my plateau(did 160kg 1rm but with extreme struggle) and i’m afraid to have reached my limit

>>76379313
mentzerpilled

>>76378001 (OP)

275lbs, been lifting seriously for 2 years

Been lifting religiously for 10 years and i still only bench 225 while trying hard

>>76378001 (OP)
If you want to progress in Bench Press faster start doing aggressive micro-loading training sessions with bigger volume 4 times a week, that's the only way to really get huge numbers on Bench or Overhead Press, unlike with Squat and Dead which you can do twice a week and get the results up.

>150-155kg on good days
>78~kg body weight
Nigga what

>>76378001 (OP)
>I'm stuck at 200 lbs for the past 3 years.
Eat, and spend time doing dumbbell press with a wide form

>>76378001 (OP)
like 80-ish, If I don't do at least my body weight by the end of the year I'm killing myself

>>76378001 (OP)
I’ve been stuck at 170lbs for a few months

>>76378001 (OP)
100kg for reps after 10 months of lifting 4 times a week. Upper-lower-upper-lower, heavy day and a light day for all major compounds.

>>76378001 (OP)
85kgx5 in 7 months of lifting regularly

>>76379009
Same thing?

205 5x5. I’d like to get to 225, but I don’t want to bulk since I’m more focused on running.

>>76380374
notice how he didn't post his height
fat turbo manlet

>>76381381
*king of manlet btw*
176-178 cm. Identity card say 179 but i think squatting made me a bit shorter.

>>76378001 (OP)
Most I've done was 225 for 2 after training for 1.5 years consistently

4 sets of 10 reps of 225. No idea what my one rep max is. Don’t really see any benefit to benching more than that without using steroids.

>>76378001 (OP)
last time i did it was 215 so I'm gonna try 225 again soon. just doing 5x5 and trying to get stronger, it's slowly working
been lifting for 6 months but worked out a lot as a teenage 10 years ago

315 lb bench, 1 rep
225 lb incline bench, 10 reps
135 lb overhead press, 10 reps

I put the weight at 275 lbs for bench if I want a higher rep range like 8.
