> how strong do I need to be at bench press to gain size/mass on my chest?
If you believe Mark Rippetoe, everyone who benches 315 has a big chest (easily disproven) and everyone who has a big chest benches 315 (debatable, but also unlikely).
yes everyone who benches 225 looks like a fashion model.
224 and under is ugly.
You are truly a retarded incel loser too stupid to function in real life.
He didn't imply there's a significant difference between 224 and 225. OP may be whatever of those things, but you're a rude piece of shit who will never find friends. I hope you die alone
If you can only bench 225 for 1 your chest is (almost definitely) small. If you can bench 325 for 1 without being fat you will have a good fizeek. Don't know why this question was so hard for the dogmatic retards on this board.
Don't even need 225 to be aesthetic
this. 225lb for reps is like .45acp. Big and fun but you don't need it.
I've seen plenty of DYELS hitting 225, but for people that bench 315 they're either fat as fatass power lifters or jacked.
Hypertrophy isn't based on your ORM

You wont be able to bench 315 with a small chest, triceps and shoulders, something will be big

fuck aesthetics we're going for glory
I wish they all could be California girls
I bench 315 and I look like a retarded dyel gay
lmao did you get memed into low volume strength programs?
No I just like to eat. I do 4x8-10 in my reps.
Ima be honest when i benched 3pl8s for the first time i was a dyel too...
I bench 305 and I look like a fat guy with a little bit of muscle.

repping 315 for sure, then it's just down to diet
I've been skeleton mode and struggled for 225'; it wasn't pretty
