Is a 2 pl8 bench even impressive anymore?
I've seen plenty of skellies bench that for 10 reps no problem

With the advent of social media nothing you do is impressive, because statistically you aren't eddie hall pressing 3 pl8tes at 15.
Nor are you pete rubish pulling 600+lbs in front of 2 dishwashers.
I prefer to feel accomplished when I improve my lifts.
Blessed worldview. The only thing that matters is being better than yesterday
100% true.
I suggest fucking off social media and getting a normie friend group. You are going to be the 'strong one' if you can move that kind of weight. Validation is important, no matter how edgy and schizoid you are.
Striving high is important but comparing yourself to world class elite genetic freaks is just going to demoralize you.
The only reply needed. OP is a body dysmorphic schizo who doesn't understand the value of personal improvement or the satisfaction of reaching goals and achievements.
It doesn't even take that long to reach 2pl8s as long as you're training consistently. I got there in just over five months.
>anymore
Don’t lift to impress anyone but yourself anon. There’s always bigger fish. And to answer your question no I would not bat an eye at someone benching 225 unless they were a 100lb girl.

No you havent...you sage-E- dyel
Is that supposed to be a skelly?
If 225lb is your bodyweight, 2pl8s isn't that impressive.
I'd love to see the average amount spent on vitamins/supplements of the 56% who think they're fit but aren't. It feels like people spend too much time worrying about their "supplement stack" because they think they can shortcut their way to fitness instead of just exercising.
I'm sure most of it is protein powder. Two scoops doesn't go as far as it used to.
>$874 a year
wtf my bulksupplements/purebulk orders were only like $200 and i have a literal prepper stash now
I hit 1/2/3/4 in 5 weeks, either it's a garbage measurement of strength or I'm a genetic freak.
I AM THE GYM
I am not letting you in. NO FROGS ALLOWED
I very rarely see anyone go above like 80kg in one of the commercial gyms I go to in my city. For me I'm not at 2 plate for reps yet but have been in the past, I always like to drop the weight down after and work on my form for a handful of extra sets and make sure to squeeze my chest
I saw some guy bench 3 plates for like 3 reps but he was big as shit. Literally spherical shaped.
Do you really find it that unbelievable that someone can reach lmao2pl8 within 5-6 months?
my highest after a year of lifting was 95lbs, I swear I have some sort of disease. my squat and deadlift progressed fine
Depends, many powerlifters can handle that and it makes you realize that you can easily reach it if you push a bit. On the other hand, they never do OHP so it's a bit less impressive.
It never was impressive.
It was never impressive. 1/2/3/4 was the fit standard baseline for being “fit”. Achieving 225 bench puts you on the bottom rung, but at least on the ladder
