It's alright anon we all have to start somewhere. I used to be so dyel twink auschwitz mode I couldn't bench the bar and had to cope with dumbbells until I could.
Don't worry OP, we all need to start somewhere. Instead of bench press, switch to dumbbell press. Do progressive overload until you can do 3x8 of at least 10kg dumbbells with good form. Make sure you're eating your protein and you'll be benching away in no time.
Trust me bro, try and get good at OHP. My 1rm is 2pl8 and I rep 1.5pl8 for my working sets, constantly get compliments on my broad shoulders. Do it 2x a week and use micro plates to progress.
everybody starts like this bro. Use the small bar. Next week, add 2 kg each side.
1 month from now you're benching the big bar with a little weight and so on. don't mind the fraud guys laughing at you their life is miserable
This.
Bench press PRs are a slow and steady grind, compared to deadlift or squats. It can be frustrating, but it makes sense since you are using only your triceps, pecs and scapula muscles to perform the lift. The other 2 of the big three involve many more muscle groups. You divide the weight between a lower number of muscles.
Never give up, use your frustration as a motivation mechanism.
going to your limit is going to your limit and hurts just the same, no matter if your limit is 15kg or 250kg. I actually respect dyels that put in effort and workout their hardest, and this will sooner or later result in concentric failure eventually
are you 12?

Bench the easy bar

Good. You're starting from zero so you know when you reach your goals it all came from within you.

this image made me genuinely laugh
>tfw cant deadlift the bar
Are you deformed? Office jobs say you have to be able to lift 50lbs so they can legally say no to cripples. How do you get out of bed?
But you can someday anon.
Day by day, lift that heavy weight and don't give up.

I think I can? I can carry car batteries around so a little extra should be fine

Same, what can I do to improve bros?
Same thing you do with any lift, start smaller and eventually you get there. Bench dumbbells instead and work your way up you goofy dipshit.
