1pl8 weighs 45 lbs. Most barbells weigh 45 lbs by themselves so "benching 1pl8" usually means benching the empty bar by itself. 90 lbs would be 2pl8, 135 lbs (one plate per side) would count as 3pl8, etc.
That's awesome op, I remember when I hit 1pl8 and you do feel like you are getting strong. Soon I will hit 315 1rm, but that day has not come yet. Perhaps tomorrow
Do you feel powerful?
1pl8 is as much as a CRT monitor right
bro... did 55kg x 3 first time I got access to equipment... maybe it's easier cause I'm a manlet tho
>hit 1pl8 OHP for 8 reps
I remember not being able to bench 1pl8 not too long ago. Great job OP, we're making it 🙂
frick yeah brother. keep at it.
>Daily sun exposure
Uh oh, you're gonna make IST angry
perfect except for the stupid israeli cross
Joy and peace awaits you in Jesus. you can't lift your way to salvation, fren.
I'm having a hard time getting to 2pl8 but that's likely because im on the cut. escaping skinny fat really do take time.
My strength has dropped. Back in my dad's home gym I could bench a 45 + 10 on each side max.
Now I can barely bench 1pl8 and certainly can't do many reps
is pressing the 75lb dumbells for 8-10 reps good. i weigh 144lbs
Grats anon and good luck with freshman year of high school!
Congrats, OP. Celebrate, but don't rest. Keep on progressing.
good for you bro
I saw 3 kids today at the gym and their working set was the bar
I'm trying to convince my stepfather to work out at my home gym but he won't because he's grown weak and he will have to start with just the bar
How much is 1plate again, 90lbs total?
>not newbie just a moron

I remember that day as a landmark.
Just hit 2pl8 recently, but 1pl8 was a more exciting achievement.
