are we talking like once or sets?

>if you CAN bench
Not hard to figure out, ESL nigger.

>>76526076 (OP)
it's definitely not 99.9% but its definitely more than most people

>>76526112
4 billion asians and 2 billion africans all too skinny to bench 225 and are untrained. yeah im thinking it's 99.9% or greater

>>76526111
Uh actually if you can only lift it once, you can't lift it at all. You should have known that, it's just common sense.

>>76526076 (OP)

Ok faggot

>>76526076 (OP)
This only sounds a little less bullshit than the study claiming 225lbs was the average bench press. I feel like it's really about top 2-5% roughly.

>>76526076 (OP)
That's not surprising. You have to consider the world population of

>women
>children
>elderly
>disabled
>starving niggers in Africa
>scrawny indians and chinks which make up a high portion of the world
>most asian cultures don't value lifting
>the remaining amount of men who simply don't lift at all or gave up

After all is said and done, the able bodied male adult (but not too old) lifting portion of the world is probably very tiny. Then scrawny manlets in the lifting adult pool lower it even more.

>>76526307
But if you assume that P is a fag, then it doesn't matter if it's true or false. Nobody cares what a gay P has to say.

>>76526330
Kek

50 percent??? I spent so many years to get to it. Spent so much money on food.. How diengenic am i??

If you weigh close to 225lbs it doesn't matter as it doesn't count.
Add a plate and that's the equivalent for you.

>>76526076 (OP)
>most of the population doesn't do any weight training, athletics, or strenuous activity on a regular basis
>majority of people with a gym membership don't use their membership or functionally dick around at the gym
>i'd even argue more than half of home gym equipment goes unused throughout a month
99.9% might be hyperbole, but if you're factoring all the cripples, retards, women, children, and the elderly it makes sense

now count only the people who actually go consistently to the gym and it's like half of them can bench 2 plates

>>76526477
Are you serious? I started lifting five weeks ago and I just hit a one rep max of 2 plates already. I'm 28, 5' 11", 170lbs.

>>76526500
So why cant i walk around thinking im tough shit and dont need to do MMA traning to beat everyone's ass around me if I can beat 99.9 percent of people's ass?

>>76526112
Im literally the only guy in my busy city gym I've ever seen benching 100kg. I can definitely believe the stat.

>>76526530
5 weeks? Lmao, it took me 2 and I slacked off, yall r both dysengenic

>>76526532
This is what happens when u dont go to a roider gym

>>76526108
3x5 with explosive concentric, 3 second eccentric and pause at bottom

>>76526277
So Eddie deadlifting the 500kg doesn't count. He only lifted the weight once. Lmao, the strongest man my ass.

>>76526076 (OP)
Most population are jeets, chinks and african malnutritioned niggers
2pl is a transition between beginner and intermediate
3pl is where the fun starts

>>76526555
>3 pl8 is were the fun starts

Ye if u are on roids or ballon over 200 lbs of 30 percent fat..

>>76526569
You don't need roids or be over 200lbs to bench 3pl lmao
200lbs is completely normal weight for a lean male if you aren't a midget genetic failure below 6 feet.

>>76526319
2% of the world population is still roughly 164 million people - almost half the population of the US. I honestly don't think that many people in the world even seriously lift weights. Keep in mind even a typical gymgoer in a first world country just goes to jog on the treadmill for a bit and maybe do a set of bicep curls.

new working theory: fitness enthusiasts all constantly attempt to bring each other down mentally because they all only got into fitness due to personal insecurities.

>>76526603
We just wanted to be fully embraced and truly loved by someone or our community. No one soclizes anymore so all the benefits we would usually have from being buff are gone. Back in the day it was okay to be a mnalet if u made up for it in any way. Have a 6/10 face and its okay ur a manlet. Have a decent normal job and its okay. Be buff and people would notice ur width instead of just laugh at ur height. Women were not delusional and understood that a dwarf mode ripped manlet would tear a civilian lanket apart

>>76526625
right. insecurities it is then. good lord man lmao

>>76526629
Not insecurities, we want to be in top positions in social heriarcies. We also want women to just after us as much as we do after them

Post body bitch with timestamp

>>76526076 (OP)
I don't go to the gym, but I can do about 30 push-ups and maybe 20 dips, and I weigh 190lbs. Do you think I would be able to bench that much, after 2 weeks or so of learning the technique?

>>76526693
>but I can do about 30 push-ups and maybe 20 dips, and I weigh 190lbs.
lol i used to do gymnastics in high school. i could easily do 50 push ups per set for multiple sets, 30-40 body weight dips etc etc. i was a very lean athletic guy 6ft ~165lbs. i took me a full year of strict dedication to bench two plates for 1 rep. that alone can tell you that most things you read here are absolute nonsense by fat boomers/millenials larping as bodybuilders that have zero sense of athleticism.

>>76526108
It should be at least 3 reps, but just 1RM is enough.

>>76526076 (OP)
I can't

>>76526112
Nah, it makes sense. Of the hundreds of people I know, I've got 2 that can bench

>>76526076 (OP)
>me failing halfway up 1 rep
just warming up bros

>>76526539
>>76526862
you guys are hilarious. 10 years ago everyone here would've said it needs to be at least 4x8 225lbs.

>>76526937
Dyels here unironically think you need roids to bench 3pl kekkaroo

>>76526946
225 is 2pl8.
you're just shifting the standard to say naw my 2pl8's actually 3pl8 because...
sounds insecure.

>>76526937
One rep is good, it puts you in the map. But nobody can deny that what really shows how capable you are is doing some reps. That's what I am saying.

>>76526874
Not everyone hangs out with dyels. From the 10 people i talk to regulary in my natty gym 8 out of 10 lift more than 2pl8. It's too easy, i also lift 2pl8 x 5 at 164

>>76526937
People have always made bullshit up on this board. You realize a good percentage of people on this board literally don't lift. Not even in the sense of the dyel meme. They literally don't exercise in any regard, remember what website you are on

What's funny is lots of people here do 5-8 reps, never bench their 1RM and just use a calculator and pretend they benched it lmao

This shit is probably true.
I see a lot of zoomers that look built as fuark, but none of them bench and instead do cables and machines. Even on machines they do like 2-2 1/2 plates on each side which when I tried was super easy, not even worth doing.
BIg part of benching is techinque and just being used to the movement.

I personally got to 225lbs x3 in my first 3 months of lifting @6ft2 195-198lbs, don't know exactly when I hit 225 and my 1rm.
Now a year and some months later I'm doing 150kg (330lbs) as my last tested 1rm. @210lbs. Train with 115kg (253lbs) 8x3.

My routine was with really heavy emphasis on pressing, I was obsessed with getting the number up to 3pl8.

>bench lmao3pl8
>now have a growth on my wrist and can't bench or OHP without insane pain

It isn't a ganglion cyst, I thought that at first, but it clearly isn't fluid. Probably gonna have to get an MRI cuz the x-ray saw nothing. Any other ideas?

>>76527069
Can I bounce the weight too?

>>76526076 (OP)
Roiders or anyone who isn't a dyel? I've benched 375 completely natty. 225 is not average or impressive, it's just out of total noob territory.

>>76526076 (OP)
225 takes years to get to and the vast majority of the population doesn't stay in the gym for multiple years. If even 1% of your city were regular gym-goers, your gym would be fucking PACKED. There would have to be a gym on every corner to accommodate that many people. Truth is, a very small percentage of the population cares about being muscular, very few bother to go to the gym at any point in their life and an even tinier percentage actually stick to it long term. Even those that do, you don't see them lifting over 225 in the gym. Pay attention when you're at the gym, it's only the roiders and other no-lifes who've worked on bench press that much to be able to do it. And it doesn't mean shit, very few pro fighters can bench 225. It doesn't help much with functional strength.

>>76527648
>t. can't bench lmao2pl8 for one shitty rep
you made it too obvious

I've been going to my commercial gym for 3 years now and only seen 1 dude benching 3pl8 for 1 rep (the guy had atleast 10yrs lifting Xp and was on TRT allegedly at 40yo).
Only seen 1 guy that was like 6ft and clearly atleast 200lbs reppin 2pl8 for 5-6, seen one dude that was in his 40s who claimed natty doing 2pl8 for 1 so ye that number seems right.
I'm 140lbs and my 1rm is 190lbs but I've never really focused on bench only or doing a strength focused program while bulking hard, just got into 1 a few weeks ago and I'm seeing progress, probably gonna slow bulk to 150 and see if I can get a 1rm 2pl8 by the end of year.

I got 2 plates up once. Felt pretty good desu

My bench was really bad in my early lifting "career". I think I had a 172lbs max bench at 160-165lbs bw @6'0 long arms). Eventually, I decided I wanted to finally get that 2pl8 bench, so I followed simple LP programs with only 1 accessory for each big lift while being on a bulk. I got my bench up to 190lbs on GSLP variants. Then I did Smolov Jr for bench and added another 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Little bit of a break, deload, and then GSLP again, and I finally reached 225. To be honest, doing very little other stuff that could have interfered with bench was really the main thing. I don't remember how many weeks it took me but it was very fast considering I was basically hard stuck at baby weight before.

>>76527648
>225 takes years to get to

It takes a year at most if you're not a generic failure.

>>76527730
>doing all that just to hit lmao2plates

>>76527745
like.. doing 2 different programs?

>>76526666
Oh, I see, Satan was just pretending to be retarded

>tfw 1/2/2/4

2 plates was easy for bench but squatting at 3 plates for the average person is much more impressive I rarely see anyone squatting over 2 plates that doesn't look like shit

>>76527674
We have people regularly doing decline bench and incline bench with 3pl8 for reps at my golds

>>76526603
You're only just now figuring this out?

>>76527108
So if I only do bench once a week I shouldn't feel bad that u do t have 2 pl8s after 6 months?

>>76526531
Because you don't have to be able to beat up the whole world, just the other people in your MMA class you retard.

>>76526088

>>76527965

>>76526076 (OP)
normal men don't get to 225lbs, you don't just need to train it specifically but also have a certain genetic potential.

>>76528639
>have a certain genetic potential.
like having a penis

>>76528639
I think every male (maybe not pajeets) could hit 225 for 1 rep if they tried. I could do that when I was 15-16

>>76528758
My one rep max when I was 15 was 95lb, (I was 140lb) no kidding. To be fair I did literally no sports and just gamed all day before then, probably much weaker than the average 15 year old. 225 took me about a year to hit after that.

>>76527648
>Pay attention when you're at the gym, it's only the roiders and other no-lifes who've worked on bench press that much to be able to do it
It's very pathetic to disparage other people's achievements.

Can (You) bench 2pl8 even for 1 rep?

>>76528863
yea that's normal

>>76526076 (OP)
Comparing myself against women, the elderly and the untrained is moot
The people I want to be compared to are stronger, so I must push myself further

>>76527069
Literally me :^)

Honestly it might even be more than 99.9% Could be like 99.999999%
I have seen only two guys in my gym hit 100kg and in my previous gym, which was a normie chain gym, only one guy reached that weight. Everyone else was at 60kg or lower.
People and especially gymrats have no idea how incredibly weak the average Joe is.
Most people never go to the gym, nor do they do anything physical and if they do, they somehow are still weak, likely due to shit diets.
Even the absolute majority of the ones who go to the gym, are weak as hell and will never reach two plates.
Social media has warped the hell out of people's perception of strength, the average human is so weak it's not even funny.

I'm in a college town ergo go to a college gym, and looking at our whiteboard of numbers 7 out of 22 guys have a 225+ bench if numbers are to be believed

And yet you’d still lose to a pistol. Lul.

>>76529248
and what about the actual weightroom?

Yes, incels are scum and must be ridiculed at every opportunity. They are defective.

If you're a normal sized male and can't do that, roids aren't going to help you

>>76529438
lil bro. 2 plate is 2 plates on each side, not 2 plates total

>>76529445
Yes, 225lbs. Maybe start lifting

>>76529457
Hahhh i dont believe you. im >>76529299

>>76529457
that's not 2pl8

he left /fit/ around 2015

>>76526076 (OP)
I'm not surprised. Look around you in your day to day life. How many people are fat, skinny, skinnyfat? How many people actually look like they exercise? How many of them look big enough to lift 225?

>>76526112
Its like those dating calculator things where if you put your age range like 18-30 then you cut out 50% of all people

>>76526603

It's very difficult to bench 2pl8 if you're victim weight.

>>76526076 (OP)
A 225lb bench isn't that impressive if you're already 200lbs.
That's like a 150lbs guy benching 168lbs.

My gym is mostly East Indians and they’re all incredibly weak and aimless. Just today I watched a fat one wearing a tank top walk into the gym. check himself out in the mirror, flex, and all before he even did an exercise. Then he immediately jumped into the seated chest press machine, no warm up, and alternated with 95lb barbell squats, effectively taking up 2 pieces of equipment and giving the girl squatting beside him the ick. I saw he kept looking at her and she stopped doing her sets and went to do the leg press. How is this relevant to the OP? It’s not. I’m just sharing a story about Indian fatigue at my gym. Yesterday there was a skinny one doing bench press with 135lbs, he did 1 rep with full rom and 2 quarter reps and then racked it, this was followed up by flexing in the mirror.
>hurrdurr ur not working out ur just judging other people at the gym!!
It’s called me resting between my working sets and doing a subtle glance around the gym to check out my surroundings you dumb faggot. It’s high IQ to observe your surroundings and know whats happening around you. So don’t even start with that shit. There was another fat weak Indian the other day with a turban who kept trying to have a staring contest with me but I was unphased by such juvenile behaviour. When he saw me load up 315lbs for working sets on squats I could sense the seethe coming from him. Didn’t even have to look at him to feel it. I could see him looking at me from behind in the mirror. I love mogging the fuck out of the weak jeets at my gym. They all think they’re tough until it’s time to actually lift some weights and then they all exposed themselves as weak little bitches. I’m sick of the B.O they bring, they don’t shower or use deodorant. I’m sick of their egos, the way they stare at you, passing their insecure energy in your direction. But I love mogging them. Boy do I love mogging them

>>76531073

yeah they have a staring problem for sure. i just ignore it because i dont have a middle ground mode it's quiet autist or raging schizo. not all of them though.

>>76526076 (OP)

I started lifting at the Y at 13. At 14 I unlocked school weight room 4 days a week. When I came back from summer freshman year I could bench 2 plates. At 31 I injured my shoulder and took 6 months off, I just came back still with a fucked shoulder and can still bench 2 plates.

If you're a man and you've worked out for more than a year and can't bench 2 plates, I recommend finding a new hobby perhaps one that women do.

>>76526536
My gym is non-roider and I see a few guys benching over 100kg but they're usually short. It really is a lot to bench for most semi-regular gym-goers, and social media fucks with everyone's perceptions

>>76526576
200lbs lean is only naturally achievable for some guys who are 6'2+
FFMIs over 22 are rare naturally in reality.

>>76531121
As opposed to the /fit/ gym where 150kg is the warmup.

>>76527648

>>76527069
>never bench their 1RM
of course i don't, i have no safety bars and no spotter i'm not eating shit for some clout
i don't use a calculator either i just say i do 2pl8 for 8 (on a good day, worse days i get 7)

>>76529248
Not for nothing, younger and younger kids are on roids. I could guarantee you the gym i helped build 60% or more of the males who go are on roids when they first step inside. The manager tries to get them off it, bless his autistic heart, but who knows how many actually do anything.

>>76527674

So they can't brag about their achievements because there's someone better than them out there, so all they can do is put someone down who's not as good as them. It's very feminine behaviour

>>76527752
Yes, you should be able to reach it just fucking around.

I lifted 225lbs for one rep last Week after 5 months of Resistance Training. I only do Incline Dumbell Bench and Chestpress for chest so i dont know the bench Technique properly. I am 191cm and 100kg. Roughly 25% BF and 20 years old. How Impressive or Expected is this?

>>76526603
