Is a 2 plate bench impressive for 5'9" 137 lbs? Do I have 4-5 plate natty potential???

    Yes its impressive strength/weight ratio. No you wont get to 5 plates natty, but you will probably be able to get to 3 plates and beyond if you gain weight and try really hard which is great already

        4 plates is top tier for a natural. Not even trying to be a dick but you’re not that big. TRUE natties who can bench 4 pl8s are almost always both tall and fat

          I'm not that big now but I can Ballon up to 200 lbs

          Look at this dude doing 4 plate at 155, ur telling me if he didn't Ballon up to 200 lbs let alone 170 he couldn't do 5 plate?

          Of the main cast prince Andrew seemed like the only one who could be functional outside of the misfits. maybe Brad sometimes. I still can't believe Andrew lit a firecracker in a sleeping homeless person's mouth once.

          We're is the picture I posted from? There's a show? Link pls. I know big lenny and the tard..

          [...]
          And it’s not even worth it. 225 is definitely good for your weight. Don’t get fat like a moron. If it matters that much get on gear.

          I don't have to get fat, I will have a lil extra fat on my bones and be fat only by fit standards..

          Also I'm 5'9, why the frick would I work out for asthetics?

              5’9 is average height. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, don’t listen to the bullshit on here. That guy is an extreme anomaly and I suspect he’s using. No real evidence but if he’s not it’s just an absolutely unreal bench for his weight and even on gear it’s extremely impressive. It’s going to be difficult to hit that on tons of gear, much less natty. Not worth trading a nice physique at 137 to be an absolute fatass at 200 and still probably not hit 4 plates. You have good strength just stay lean and see what you can do

                In that case just realize it’s extremely unlikely regardless of how fat you get. 95% of the guys at the gym benching 4 pl8s have done multiple cycles, the other 5% are like 6’4+ and fat as frick.

              that's a genetic phenom with a tiny frame with 90% of his muscle on his pecs with an extreme bench grip that trains nothing but bench and tricep extensions, dude looks small in a t shirt and even shirtless he doesn't look like anything special, he's just an one trick poney and his general strength is most definitely lower than that of any bodybuilder

              Dude I don't care about looks.. My status as a man has nothing to do with looks

            there are limits to natural strength and muscle gain. UFpwrliftr is maxed the frick out on his chest gains. he might put 20lbs on his bench in the rest of his entire life. Putting on an extra 45lbs of fat isn't going to magically make him stronger.

              I trained with a lifetime natty who benched 4 plates and I was there to see it, but the dude wasn't natty and it was his best lift, I looked more muscular than him despite of the fact his bench was 40kg heavier than mine
              everytime he got close to 10% bf his bench would drop like a rock.
              if you look at all the "half natty" bodybuilders that compete in natty federations they all lose strength like a mfer when they get lean not even contest shape but just 10% bf lean, I've seen bench press strength 30% drops it's fricking crazy how much fat and water weight helps with bench pressing.

                Lol what? How does fat help with bench? I get that cutting to low body fat lowers your strength, but literally fat cannot directly contract or exert any force.

        There's no reason to eat that much of a surplus you're just gonna put on fat
        Only reason I can think you'd want to do that is if you're bloatmaxxing but otherwise a surplus of 300-400 should be fine

        Are you saying you've been bulking non-stop since last November? Think your calories may be off since you should be a fair bit heavier than you are. Unless you're doing cardio as well. I still wouldn't call it a bulk though.
        Either way, 2pl8 bench at your weight is pretty solid. Gratz anon

      WR was above 5 plates before steroids became commercially available, so yes it's possible. I'm sure there's at least a few autists today who solely on bench and are able to do so natty.

        Great choice. Palumbo had him on his podcast and tried to teach him how to shrink his belly and reverse the damage of Palumboism (he’s become an expert on it since retiring) but Lenny didn’t listen or take any of the supplements or dietary changes.

    No you don't. 3 pl8 is the most someone can ever achieve naturally and even that requires you to bloatlord to 250lbs minimum.

    Everyone that benches 4-5 pl8 are on gear, period. It's non-negotiable. I don't care if they don't look like IFBB pro's, they are still using heavy androgens.

      Not entirely true. It's true for 99.9999% of people, but there are rare genetic freaks and they usually go on to take steroids anyway so you never know their natty potential. Nevertheless, there are a handful of freaks who can get to 4 plates natty.

        Yes this is true but it’s just impossible to tell at this point with so many fake natties. Especially like huge fat guys. A guy who is 6’6 and strong and fat could conceivably hit 4pl8s natty.

      Good for your bodyweight. Keep on grinding and see where you end up. 3pl8 is definitely in the books for you, beyond that you'll have to find out. Just don't get too fat chasing strength, even if you don't care about looks you're going to feel like shit and health is going to go down the drain

      Disagreed hard. 4pl8 bench is very rare but 3pl8 is fairly common amongst strength athletes. Obviously elite level to normies but barely entry level to actual trainees. I saw fit people benching 3pl8 daily in my old gym, it is nothing special

      This has to be bait.

      I'm around 190 5'10 and can bench 375 right now. There are a ton of dudes in my gym who can do 315, some teenagers around 165-170 lbs bodyweight. Granted, I've been lifting specifically for strength and bench has always been my favourite lift. But even still, you're either coping or extremely delusional. I recommend you seriously switch to a more serious gym or something.

        The difference between 3pl8 and 4pl8 bench is immense. 3pl8 is achievable for most trainees with some decent programming, 4pl8 requires serious dedication and prowess

          Anonymous

          Yes of course. But given enough time and effort a lot of people can achieve it, more than most people think at least. I've seen it first-hand. The thing though is that you have to be extremely efficient and hyperfocused on the bench specifically, which most people aren't. But if you do that then 4pl8 is most definitely achievable.
