I get mired when I bench 2pl8 for reps at my gym, but according to?
225 isn’t shit. I did 4 sets of 225x12 on the bench yesterday at 205 lb. It’s not impressive considering high school football players rep it
i agree with my fellow homosexuals.
post chest pics op?
>205
Looool we are talking about fit people not FAT people. How many pull-ups can you.... just kidding ZERO fatass
>205
>fat
you must be little
Anything over 0.1% bf is morbid obesity tier.
I knownthisbis a troll post but i was doing 10 sets of 10, several sets of 15 (dont remember probably 5), and weighted pull ups with like 30lb depending on how i wanted to train that day at like 215lb
this is unironically based. I wanna get to this level of upperbody strength.
Literally just do a lot of pull ups and lift heavy, thats what i did
Russian pull up method got me from doing like 20 pull ups total in a day to over 120
gotcha, I'm pretty lean & work pullups into my back routine. I typically do between 40-50 total in sets of 10 then drop to sets of 5 when I fail 10. before moving on to other workouts.
I'll have to look up the russian method
I did as follows
>do pull ups every lifting day at the start of each session or interworked with main lift of the day between sets
>for you i would say start with 10 sets of 3
>every day add a rep to the rightmost set, so next day 9x3/4x1, then 8x3/4x2, etc
>continue until 100+ pull ups in a day
thanks king. wishing you insane gains
Get back in the manlet pit
Maybe it's an american thing.
Europe might be more DYEL, less hormones in food and shit. At my gym, 2pl8 for reps is rare.
I just think they are all liars and roids over there is shockingly common.
and now your shoulder feels fricked
Shut the frick up
>at 205 lb
lost
Good for you. I hit 1.5PL8 after 6 months and stalled. I got bored and quit to engage into volume & cut for the incoming summer. Next winter I'm back at SL 5x5 but I won't get depressed if never achieve it.
>stats 0,8/1,5/2,5/3
>weight 66 Kg / height 168cm
Post chest, homosexuals.
>butts for attention
Just look at the results of any junior meet.
idk why I'm replying to some random dyel homosexual on IST but here's a video of me benching 225x8 my sophomore year of college, mid covid 19 pandemic. I was probably 190 in this video and drinking every other night
Like I said, its not light weight, but its not something to swing your dick around over.
like other anons said - youre either tall, fat, or have been training for years
here in my gym most people who train for 2+ years can 2pl bench, very few stick it out
>i get mirred
yeah, you should make friends with those people and enjoy that.
>but according to IST everyone hits that after 6 months of lifting
children do while training for football, beginner lifting programs have you lifting 2 plates by 13.
Just because you got there later by yourself doesnt mean its not anything you shouldnt be proud of. Its just when you come on IST and go
>LOL GUYS I JUST GOT TWO PLATES IM SO FRICKING SICK
its gay
Post body
your turn 😉
what a fricking UNIT
Give us tips on bulking homie.
This thread just convinced me even more that no one on fit lifts, and those who claim big numbers are either lying or fat like
Verification not required
YEP
i realize that that is a lark but some do really consider this fit, that's what disturbs me
People who aren't into fitness have no frame of reference. Of course the old lady down the street thinks picrel looks like a bodybuilder. She doesn't know how to use the internet.
You’re a big guy
>programs have you lifting 2 plates by 13.
Lol. Lmao even.
This place is such a joke.
>beginner lifting programs have you lifting 2 plates by 13.
The 13 year-olds that can do this are built like dump trucks. Nobody ever mentions they are all naturally big & strong. No skinny 13-year old is benching 2-plates.
The thing is even though it's not a bad lift for an average gym goer there are literal kids benching 4pl8 and more. Obviously, they are extremely gifted, but it just puts into perspective how "good" a 2pl8 bench really is.
The blacks that bench that may have the iq of kids but they ain't kids
>6 months
Are you even trying?
>IST
only 2pl8s? pfft, pussy ass b***h Black person
I watch my pet hamster do 5pl8s before he fricks my tenants and their wifes as I am a landlord of a high rise
>irl
impressive
I go to a community fitness center owned by the city and cheap for residents, I see hundreds of different faces
only a handful (<5) bench 2pl8 or more, 3 of them are bloatlord powershitter regulars
2pl8 is dyel at most gyms
white boys are so cute UwU
I started benching consistently in october/september 2023 with a 1rm of 77kg, and I have an 89kg pin press atm (I did have previous experience with calisthenics, and weighted, but I had a chronic lack of volume for 2 years that made my progress really slow)
If we're talking purely about adaptability, then getting a 2pl8 bench is completely doable. What's hard is knowing how to train correctly withour prior experience.
>b-but muh science
If you arent getting a 100kg bench withing your first year of benching le hecking science isnt working for you
Forgot to add that I made the most progress since the start of 2024. Wasted a bunch of time messing around the prior months.
>lasagna lana del taco rey poster above headboard
yup, he is gay.
IST is so fricking weird. DYEL's and huge guys would never hang out IRL, but here we are, all talking shit & purposely disagreeing with each other about everything.
I regularly hang out with my mexican supervisor who is 5'8 and shredded. he has targeted me into his department because i am dyel and lift 2 times a week. he thinks im a big guy. he tries to arm wrestle me all the time cause he knows he can smash me .
2 plates is a good amount of weight, something that is respectable, but nothing to flex on others.
Which gyms do you guys go to? I bench 315 for reps and don't get mired. In my gym that is strong but nowhere near impressive when I personally know 3 people in my gym benching 405
a commercial gym in a residential area. please give tips on going from 2pl8 to 3pl8
2pl8 makes youa big guy at the gym. i see a guy who regularly reps 2 pl8 at the gym, he makes a big show of making sure everyone at the gym sees 2pl8 isnt a big deal for him. its kind of cringe tbh. just lift your lift and be done with it.
>but according to IST
I doubt the majority here even lift. Those who do probably push baby weights which is fine but they also talk about weights as if they have a clue but know nothing.
nah 2 pl8 bench is big boy mode at the gym. i regularly rep 2 plate at my gym. the guys who rep 2 plate at my gym also wear flannels to cover their pump, its kinda gay ngl.
2pl8 is impressive, IST has insanely high standards
I want to get to 2pl8 but really don't think it's really that easy do so in 6 months like people say. I'm 29, 6ft, 190lbs.
Lifting for 3 months and my bench currently is like 187lbs(85kg) for 8. Once I got to 80kg progress started to slow down and my tendons around the elbows are starting to hurt.
I do bench,incline db, tricep pulldowns, ohp, dips. I do everything I can imagine to get my bench strength up, but doing 2pl8 for reps will take a while. Don't get discouraged, most people lie about their numbers here.
Who gives a shit what IST or anyone else thinks. Don't compare yourself to others. Compare yourself tomorrow to yourself today to yourself yesterday. That's the only thing that matters.
if you quote post op and don't get a you. you should off yourself. midwit slave mentality behaviour.
>green eyes
subhuman
>but according to IST everyone hits that after 6 months of lifting
When I was starting it took me about 10 months to go from untrained to 225lbs for 1 rep.
I was doing mostly PPL 6 days a week.
Idk why people use 1rm to claim the bench 2 or 3 pl8t. Unless you do those weights for reps for actual sets, you are not really benching that weight.
That's the issue with claiming certain numbers. When I say I bench 2pl8 I mean 5x5 with full rom, and I thought that was the agreed upon standard
But some of them mean 1 rep. some even mean half a rep with a fricking spotter taking a good amount of the weight. some mean they can do lenny reps where the bar literally moves 2 inches
moot's special needs brother
Gee it's almost like people on the internet are full of shit...
Memes aside, I hit a PR recently of 127.5kg on bench with myself weighing around 80kg. According to people online every sub 60kg twink teenager is benching that, yet somehow in real life gyms I rarely ever see anyone going higher than 2pl8 and the ones that do are actually big, and in most cases bloatlords who sacrificed all aesthetics for strength. I regularly see people here saying they bench 3 plates with less than 2 years of training
Too many gullible idiots believing what they see on Instagram and tiktok with very obviously fake weights. When you genuinely have a big bench you know what it really takes. so easy to spot the guys who don't really lift
>yet somehow in real life gyms I rarely ever see anyone going higher than 2pl8 and the ones that do are actually big,
what's 'big'? Some people just got advantageous levers for specific lifts.
I got 15 inch arms and I bench 225lb for 5-8 reps
15" arms is good size if you're actually lean (big slabs of no definition fat don't count lmao) and you're under 6'0"
nah i got lank arms at 6'2". I'm tall and goofy shaped
me too, when I do it at the climbing gym.
After 6 months of serious lifting? They do. Key word serious.
It just depends who you spend time around. I’m a huge nerd and so are all my IRL friends, so they are all blown away when I mention that I just did 185 for 9 reps on bench. Meanwhile my online acquaintances all bench between 200 and 300.
This is why I never listen to any posters who don’t post body
frankly you shouldn't listen to the ones that do post body, either. They're posting on IST
Okay? Those things arent mutually exclusive though. 2pl8 bench is absolutely achievable in 6 months. The gains that most people have at the gym are achievable in 1-2 years yet ppl spin their wheels for 3-5 years.
I agree 2pl8 bench is somewhat rare and impressive but on the same note its achievable in 6 months. It depends on the arguement we are trying to make here.
I dont know what other example I could give you. Its like creating your own business. Statistics show that something like 99% of businesses fail, so if your business doesnt fail thats insanely impressive because you are in the top 1%, but its because most ppl are fricking moronic and their business ideas and plans suck. So thats why its not really that impressive if your business doesnt instantly go down under.
To go from 1pl8t to 2pl8t for reps as a normal, untrained human male you need more than 6months.
Just because some football kids, who by all means usually are freaks, can do it at 16-17 doesn't mean general population can.
You would have to have GREAT diet from the start, not have any setbacks due to tendonitis (they will hurt bad if you are progressing fast as untrained individual) and generally speaking know what the frick you are doing.
Maybe its possible, but it also depends on your starting weight, height e.t.c. Too many ifs, realistically, a year, year in a half of actually putting in work would be more reasonable. And again, thats without spinning the wheels and being mental b***h.
is that a ftm? very androgynous face, can be a blessing or a curse
It's a 19yo boy
I think that's pretty cool anon. I can't lift shit, I'm a 120 lb twink. Good for you. Enjoy your accomplishments
I weigh 150lbs and can’t even lift 1pl8 my fellow twink bro. It sucks
