we're fraternal. Furthermore, he played sports and lifted all through grade school and I didn't, so he is bigger and stronger than me. You absolute tard
Every dude that has been working out a while encounters the 1pl8 dilemma: >Be benching >Warm up @ 1pl8 >Working set is 1.5pl8+ >Get done >Should I leave 1pl8 on for the next guy to warm up with, or take it off just for dude to put it back on? Grills and weak dudes that can't even 1pl8 warmup dont actually exist, right? >
Wtf you even talking about, of course you take it off. You always take all the weights off unless person waiting to take bench after you tells you to leave it.
I always did this except the injuries part. I will warm up to squats with body weight only and then the bar, then 35lbs or 45lbs plates, then an intermediate set between that and working weight for 2-4 reps, and then the actual working weight. Currently at 2pl working sets, have done 2.5 pl8 before for reps a long time ago and squats were my worst lift. Only morons go straight into working sets.
Always take it off. You don't know what people are doing with that bar. 1.5pl8 has been part of my warmup for like six years now and I still start with the bar. Or the next dude could be using that bar for something else entirely; in my last commercial gym (homegym now), there were five flat benches and three inclined benches, only two squat racks, one seated press rack, and zero spare bars. So if you wanted to do barbell curls or rows or cleans or whatever the frick, 100% you're taking it from a flat bench and walking around with a pair of plates already on the bar is fricking dumb (not to mention if you're leaving plates on, you're not leaving the clips on, if you even used them for bench in the first place) so you have to unload.
The only reason you brought this up is because you want to be just a little more lazy. Stop being lazy.
(Not counting the bar is a IST meme, not to he taken seriously)
I honestly forget how decent my strength is because of browsing this texan sheep fricking forum too much.
That's me, working sets are >1.5pl8, squat ORM is 3pl8, I weight 76kg. I'm far from a giant.
I'm starting to realize that I'm at the end of novice numbers.
This too. I'm more or less the same stats but between coming here and lifting at a more serious gym with a lot more PLs, Ive become used to being mogged all the time. There was a time over the summwr where I temporarily switched gyms to a more normie one and I went from being in the 70th percentile strenghtwise to like the 98th. It was surreal
Current max bench is 320 and I do:
Bar x12
0.5pl8 x12
1pl8 x10
1.5pl8 x8
2pl8 x6
2.5pl8 x5
My working weight is about 2.5pl8 for 5, if I'm going to attempt a new max, I'll usually do 2.5pl8 for 2 or 3 reps instead. All time max bench is 3.5pl8, and I did same warmup, just 1 more set at 3pl8. I warm up for squat, DL, OHP the exact same way, except deads I usually do 8 reps, then at about 2.5-3pl8 I switch to 5 reps. I do not like deadlifts whatsoever, they frick up my low back muscles, but it's OK when I keep the reps lower
I think this warmup is ideal if you are going to at least 2pl8, but my autism also enjoys only using the 45 and 25 plates until the last set or two
My body don't responds to warmups. I do a light/quicj stretch then jump into my normal sets. Warming up just takes away muscle stamina for me and don't see the injury preventing side of it yet
Is say 90% of the male population aged 16-70 years old would warm up on 1pl8. I'd go further and estimate 90% of the male population could bench 2pl8 for a minimum of 5x reps.
The reason most people don't is because they're afraid of being under the bar.
No matter the weight, I warm up the same >bar >+5kg each side
repeat until main set is reached. Same for squats. Deadlifts I start at lmao1pl8 after stretching a bit.
People itt questioning if this is really impressive at all.
An average frame bloke can make 60kg feel 'light' in as little as 3 months, and maybe have it as part of his warmup loading, but being able to throw it around like its just an empty bar is a different thing entirely.
Some of the stronger people itt could benefit from speed benching 1pl8 for reps to understand this.

I saw some fat short guy bouncing 1 plate and I was like damn dude you are weak. Then he got out 3 plate bench. Do people warm up with a bunch of one plates then jump to 3? I was impressed. Dude was pushing 300 lbs weight wise though.
That's me
Yeah, no shit. You ought to be 1pl8 benching as a warm-up if you've been lifting for more than a week.
my twin brother is way bigger and stronger than me and he benches 1pl8 for 30 as a warmup
that seems like a waste of time and energy
>twin
>bigger and stronger
Anon, I don’t think you even know what ‘twin’ means.
we're fraternal. Furthermore, he played sports and lifted all through grade school and I didn't, so he is bigger and stronger than me. You absolute tard
Please, please be pretending. You would have to be 12 or below to make this kind of mistake, and no preteen should be on this website.
I saw a guy warming up for squats 1 pl8 on the bar, gave me the motivation to keep working hard
is that really all it takes to impress noobs?
When 90% of gym goers squat >=35lbs for working sets, it is impressive for someone to see someone in the minority
OP is probably baiting but the amount of DYELs on this board is insane like the posts above me
Every dude that has been working out a while encounters the 1pl8 dilemma:
>Be benching
>Warm up @ 1pl8
>Working set is 1.5pl8+
>Get done
>Should I leave 1pl8 on for the next guy to warm up with, or take it off just for dude to put it back on? Grills and weak dudes that can't even 1pl8 warmup dont actually exist, right?

Wtf you even talking about, of course you take it off. You always take all the weights off unless person waiting to take bench after you tells you to leave it.
>walk up to dyels benching
>ask to do set between
>load up 3pl8 and do set
>leave weight on
>walk away
simple as
>triggered soiim who's always obeyed women and never broken the rules
I bench 2.7pl8 and warm up with the bar. Take the damn plates off.
I tore my rotator cuff so I am currently benching less than 1pl8
multiple injuries have taught me to warm up slowly starting from the bar

The only people who don't unload plates are those boomers who wear sunglasses while lifting. You just outed yourself
Do they drink monster ultra too?
If you cant warm up with 1pl8 you are a dyel
If 2pl8 isn't your warm up your 100% dyel
POST PHYSIQUE
mirin them quads
post a new pic homosexual
you dont look like this anymore
OHP? I agree. Anything else should be 3pl8s warm-up minimum
Post bench
fight me.
Agreed. Due to inflation, 2pl8 is now the new 1pl8. Any serious lifter should be aiming for a 3pl8 bench.
I can’t bench more than 190lb bros…I feel so fricking weak. I want 2Pl8 so badly
I can do 20 reps at 2pl8
clap
What is that impressive?
Just benched 100kg 5 reps first time
>that guy who jogs a mile to “warm up”
These people are fricking scary
Black person, tomorrow morning jump straight out of bed, go outside and then do a full 100% effort 100m sprint and tell me how it goes
what the frick is that supposed to mean
lifting and cardio arent the same thing
lmao jogging a mile literally takes under 10 minutes if you aren't a fat frick
Saw a guy warming up for DLs with 1 plate, didn’t even start with the bar. Blew my fricking mind.
did that one and my hips got so stiff i couldnt finish the rest of the workout
I always do the lift with the bar just to see if maybe something is wrong with me beforehand then I go to 1pl8
That's me, and my max is fricking 195.
wtf is 1pl8? 135?
>counting the bar
i need the bar so i can do the math for what i can handle with non-bar shit
brainlets PLEASE leave my gym and my board!
(Not counting the bar is a IST meme, not to he taken seriously)
This too. I'm more or less the same stats but between coming here and lifting at a more serious gym with a lot more PLs, Ive become used to being mogged all the time. There was a time over the summwr where I temporarily switched gyms to a more normie one and I went from being in the 70th percentile strenghtwise to like the 98th. It was surreal
have a nice day
I'm working on it
>that guy who didnt use his phone after a set
What the frick? Is he not bored?
First warmup set is 1 pl8 bench and I bench 3 plate for 7 right now.
1 plate
2 plate
2.5 plate
3 plate working sets (3)
Current max bench is 320 and I do:
Bar x12
0.5pl8 x12
1pl8 x10
1.5pl8 x8
2pl8 x6
2.5pl8 x5
My working weight is about 2.5pl8 for 5, if I'm going to attempt a new max, I'll usually do 2.5pl8 for 2 or 3 reps instead. All time max bench is 3.5pl8, and I did same warmup, just 1 more set at 3pl8. I warm up for squat, DL, OHP the exact same way, except deads I usually do 8 reps, then at about 2.5-3pl8 I switch to 5 reps. I do not like deadlifts whatsoever, they frick up my low back muscles, but it's OK when I keep the reps lower
I think this warmup is ideal if you are going to at least 2pl8, but my autism also enjoys only using the 45 and 25 plates until the last set or two
>that guy who fist bumps you when he recognizes you even though you’ve never spoken to him
Kek I do this to the regular lads. The girls get a nod, if they smile back they get a wave next time and if they respond to that I go up and talk.
My body don't responds to warmups. I do a light/quicj stretch then jump into my normal sets. Warming up just takes away muscle stamina for me and don't see the injury preventing side of it yet
Is say 90% of the male population aged 16-70 years old would warm up on 1pl8. I'd go further and estimate 90% of the male population could bench 2pl8 for a minimum of 5x reps.

> that genetic freak who does kettlebell swings with a 20kg kettlebell
How would you guys warm up, supposing you bench 130kg? Sometimes i feel i don't warm up nearly enough
No matter the weight, I warm up the same
>bar
>+5kg each side
repeat until main set is reached. Same for squats. Deadlifts I start at lmao1pl8 after stretching a bit.
>1 plate warm up
>1.5 plate 4x5 working sets
What's wrong with with me, why can't I push myself
>Now he's squatting the bar
WHO IS THIS BEAST?
People itt questioning if this is really impressive at all.
An average frame bloke can make 60kg feel 'light' in as little as 3 months, and maybe have it as part of his warmup loading, but being able to throw it around like its just an empty bar is a different thing entirely.

T. 1.5 x bw bench
I honestly forget how decent my strength is because of browsing this texan sheep fricking forum too much.
That's me, working sets are >1.5pl8, squat ORM is 3pl8, I weight 76kg. I'm far from a giant.
I'm starting to realize that I'm at the end of novice numbers.
how much is one pl8?
Failed my 2pl8 bench a week ago. I promise I'll get it soon
>that guy that watches Gynthot TikTok’s or porn in between his sets
once I saw a 2.5m around 150kg guy who looked like a powerlifter (huge but with fat) full of nazi tattoos who warmed with 4 plates
I warmed up with 1.5 pl8 at the age of 12, two years before I started lifting
>that guy adding weight to bodyweight exercises
I saw some fat short guy bouncing 1 plate and I was like damn dude you are weak. Then he got out 3 plate bench. Do people warm up with a bunch of one plates then jump to 3? I was impressed. Dude was pushing 300 lbs weight wise though.
Post your warm ups lads
Bench 1pl8
Squat 1.5p8
Deadlift 2pl8
OHP 0.5pl8
i warm up with 1/2/3/4 then move onto my working weights of 3/4/5/6
That's essentially what I warm up with too
