The first time I tried to bench press I ended up doing 155 for a double. Within a few months I was doing 2pl8. After 7 months I could do 285 for a triple. Then I switched to weighted dips because they felt better. Can currently do dips with 4pl8 added at 230 pounds
Nope. Literally failed reps of 75 lbs and someone came and helped. I said thanks and he just walked away with a "wtf are you serious dude?" look on his face.
I actually did
I then stalled on 160-170 kg after 7 years of lifting. Only time I benched more was when I ate in such a surplus that I became fat af (120 kg at 185 cm) and benched 182 kg, but being out of breath and not seeing my dick wasn't worth it, rather stay at 93 kg.
I was 13 when I started lifting so my first bench was 65lbs for 8 reps. I did hit a 3 plate at 15 though so anything is possible if you got that DOG in you
Most I got was 75kgs for a few reps with shit form. Now I fucked up my right arm so no more barbell for me at least for a month.
OHP (55kg x5 at most) also fucks me up because I get a sharp pain in one of the muscles that's very close to my right elbow, it just fucks itself after a few sets.
No I was 13 and failed in school gym. Next year my father took me to gym and I benched 1pl8. Got so exited that I benched 2pl8 just before turning to 16.

so i had at least 2 years of semi-lifting in me
yes i know this is all pathetic but i'm a high inhib-cel
Unironically yes, although it was tough.
Lmao yes I benched 1 plate my first day at the gym after 4 months of home workouts I was able to do 30 pushups in a set at 200lbs
i benched 1pl8 for 3x10 after 2 months
yeah but I had done nothing but pushups @195-210 for a year or two before that. I only squat 120 and deadlift 110 right now.
Same experience. Getting good at pushups = 1 plate bench. Calisthenics is a meme.
However getting good at dips = 2 plate bench
Post body.
I benched 170lbs in highschool my first time in a gym
this nigga used 2.5 lb plates, big ~~*small dick energy*~~

So what are you a gifted athlete or something or just built like a barrel

GAYLORD
Post body.
I'm pretty sure.
I was 14. I do remember it was much harder than expected
Still can’t bench 1pl8 for reps despite lifting for years. Sorta depressing ngl.

Yes i benched a plate held in both hands
I did 10x3 @ 115 lbs my first day
I was an absolute dyel and could do 75lbs for like 5

Doesn’t matter where you start. Just that you keep pushing and moving forward. WAGMI
I could only manage 75, I was a runner. But I did 2pl8s for 5 yesterday.
