Photos showed the 33-year-old Socialist, and Democratic Party nominee, was unable to lift a bar loaded with what was said to be 135-pounds off the rack without help — and his two reps required full assistance from a smiling, large-biceped Men’s Day celebrant, photos showed.

If you have no medical issues and can’t bench 135lbs for at least 5 reps and you weigh over 135lbs then you shouldn’t be able to vote or run for office

I'm pretty sure those aren't 45lb plates. Maybe 35s at most

That's not even 135

>>513830993 (OP)
Usually at these things they have a trap bar deadlift with lmao1pl8 for the celebs which is something even 6-year-old girls can lift and it's impossible to fail.

Any adult male sans injury can bench 135lbs but if you've never lifted before it can be scary to be under the bar. He never should have done it. Just go do the trap bar cuck deadlift you retard.

>>513831991
WHAT THE FUUCK IS THAT FUCKING REAL?!

>>513831908
If you look closely it says 45 but i agree they look small

>>513832028

They certainly look like 45s to me which makes it 135.

I can't do regular bar benches bc of a bad shoulder that gets injured with this movement. But I declne press 70# dumbbells for sets. And I'm 59 years old. How many of you faggots can do that?

>>513832092
I recently pinched a nerve in my neck retrying a barely failed deadlift attempt.

Never retry a maximal lift.

I may never deadlift again and I require months of recovery to minimize pain and regrow strength and control in my right arm.

Pray for me, gymbros. Fuck niggers and fuck brown spics (white spics are okay)

I don’t do flat bench for the same reason but overhead press and incline seem to be easier on my shoulder and I’m doing 145 for reps and I just recently got back into the gym. Im 33. Dumbbell pressing 70s is impressive but doing it decline not so much.

Plus the bar, which should be 50. So 140 altogether. Still incredibly pathetic.

>>513833339
You're a big guy, man. I think the bench could be too small for you. With a larger station, you could arch your back a little, just coil it, and stabilize your feet and do more weight on the BP.

>>513832762
Well damn -- alright you little beefcake, I was fully expecting you were around 5'6.

Your whole premise doesn’t make any sense. Nobody thinks 135 is a strong bench press.

>>513832460
No it isn’t, retard. It’s the biggest test enhancing excercise you can perform, and makes your upper back huge like rows never can. I got a massive thick upper back with big rear delts from deads.

>>513832356
I don't deadlift often, but using a trap bar is safer than a straight bar, you're not bending over and forwards, it's more of a squat action.
>>513832485
>smith machine was invented for people like you, you can still get your sets in without worry
It's the fixed position of the bar that gives me injuries, Same thing happens when I use machines - lots of tendon/ligament injuries over the years. There's no room for movements outside of the fixed range of motion of the machine. Since I went to almost exclusive free weights I've been injury free for a few years now.
>>513832880
>have you tried a cambered bar like a duffalo bar or a multigrip bar like the kadillac bar? those are both a lot easier on my shoulders
See above. I'm too old to do ego lifts anymore. I get in the gym, get the job done, and leave. A power lifter I know gave me the dumbbell / decline bench tip to take the strain off my shoulders when I told him about the shoulder injury. Works like a charm.
>>513833164

I've never bar benched but I do mainly upper bench with 40lb dumbells, 3X12. I'm 36, I think I would be able to do 135 flat barbell. Any people who work out, can confirm?

I wondered how this was possible considering even the fat guys in high school usually did 4-5 reps at that weight and then I found out this guy’s parents are actually Indian. I thought he was Arab but that makes more sense; South Asians have a weaker grip strength than some western women, but still I assume that’s the really low caste ones.

I suppose you could add about 25% for your barbell weight, so like 100lbs 3x12. Certainly enough to do 135 for reps

It's 135lbs you never-lifts.

>>513833339
6'3 265lbs with these lifts.
your bodyfat doesnt move weight.
the bodyweight to benchweight thing is to be able to compare vastly different athletes with another.
also it makes entry-level people, that have been going to the gym for 5 years feel better about their performance.

also the levels are beyond retarded.
>advanced @ 391

391 requires some genetic luck.
470 probably impossible natural.

your lifts are decent.

I'm in pretty decent shape but I have no idea really what my bench max is.
I didn't do sports or anything growing up just got in shape after HS on my own. Never had any help.
Even though I'm in better shape than over half the people around me I'd rather fucking blow my brains out than ask some dude to spot me at the gym.
One thing I've learned over the years is there's nothing more insufferable than the average fit guy at the gym. I have this thing with unsolicited advice about fitness I just can't stand, don't know why. Maybe I'm just autistic.

>>513830993 (OP)

>>513842139
>A man with average strength is supposed to at least do their body weight for one rep.

Bench press is weirdly hard. I was doing sets of 15 dips, so pretty strong.
I thought I'm pressing my bodyweight 15 reps so I should have no problem bench pressing my bodyweight.

Nope. First time I tried I only got 2 reps. I was surprised I could only do so few

>>513844492
Both did 0 reps.

>>513844492

Neither of them is touching the bar to their chest. Wtf? This makes them look pathetic

>>513834620
Or do stupid 1rm flex lifts. I bench alone with clips but I have safeties that prevent a dropped bar.

>>513831991
Oh, that's definitely real.

Mamdani not being able to lift 95lbs is pathrtic but hes still based on jews

To be fair 60 kg is not exactly easy for a beginner. For an experienced gym goer it's not that hard but I can understand this guy not being able to lift it.

>>513844728
Thats not even 135, thats 95

>>513834234

yes, he died later while squatting

>>513844770
If it's 40kg that is easy even for a beginner with some effort. 60kg is not that easy.

That's a serious hormonal issue for a grown fighting age man to not be able to lift one plate for one rep. For reference I was pushing that for 5+ reps at 13 and I was a skinny kid probably only weighing 140lbs. There weren't many kids on my football team that couldn't lift that especially just unracking it. This is just more evidence that libshit men are eunuchs and basically women.

>>513847338
OH HONEY THAT WAS NOT EVEN A PLATE. It was a 25, the "man" cannot even lift 95lbs!!!! That's as weak as an untrained girl!

Declines easier then incline or flat. Plus it works your lower chest too much. I mean it's impressive compared to the general population ya but if you been working out your whole life not really. Seen 64 year olds in prison who haven't worked out for a year bench pressing like 260 for a single and that was while he was fasting with one meal a day trying to drop weight. I mean it's kinda just perspective. It also depends how far your width is as well when doing dumbbell presses. If your outside the chest it's way harder than inside the chest.

Yeah 135LB is nothing, I could rep that literally dozens of times without a break back in highschool and I am much stronger now. This guy is a total bitch.

I have no idea how much I can bench, because I have never lifted weights before

Didn't this nigger do a video shoot with 2pl8? Not that that's a miraculous weight but did he use fake plates?

>>513833977
he's a paki, so basically pajeet genetics (from the subcontinent) with sand nigger religion (admittedly an upgrade over the rapejeet religion)

I ran a uni gym for a while and 1pl8 isn't starting bench. In fact a good amount of your average once a week gymers basically stall out there.

tsmt

everyone counts weight in totals. bar + plates. lmao1pl8 = 40kg plates + 20kg bar = 60kg

>>513852004
for most untrained adult men it's whatever your weight would be at a body fat percentage of 20-30 (aka roughly 120-130% of your fat free mass)
>>513853133
obviously if you've never benched before you need to get comfortable with the movement but with a trainer most guys can work up to around 80-90kg with the bar or 32-40kg in their first couple of sessions.

>with the bar or 32-40kg
*32-40kg on dumbbells (each hand)

>67kg
That means he couldn't even lift his own bodyweight on a pull up rack? What's his diet? Pure industrial seed oil?
