Too heavy sir 10 lbs Possible

You forgot the decimal point for the 2.5lb weights that you clearly meant.

Or use a fake barbell (4lb) with 2 fake 45lb (actually 3lb) plates, meaning the total weight of your “225” bench press is actually 16 lbs 😂

@@percy.garou1001I think u mean the clips

it's a half plate 😌

😂

Id go up to 400 pounds to be sure😂😂😂.

true

or rather maintain the ability to do a pushup while you're gaining weight

315 hamburgers??

@@cherry.berry2 would still be heavier then the bar lmao

@@dangthatscrazy659 I meant om-nom-ing it lol

@@cherry.berry2 gawd damn

7-10mins is excessive, unless you're going for a PR. Just lower the weight to maintain whatever RPE you want and do a normal 4-5

The sooner people realise bench CAN be a full body movement the sooner they Will hit 2 plates and further

Yeah it's understated just how important of a role your back plays during this movement.

What muscles did you warm up and how did you warm up them?

This 100% was not the reason why your bench increased by 20% in one day. Either 1) your previous max wasn’t your real max and you were sandbagging it and the back warmup was a huge placebo or 2) you hadn’t maxed in a long time so you had a big jump in your previous max.

Go get it bro 💪

Hell yeah! I just got to 150 last week!

you got this champ 💪🏻 you're doing enough and could do even more

​@@toastedtoast222how long have you been lifting? weird seeing realistic progress in KZfaq comments instead of a 14 yo benching 300 after 2 months of training 😂

I used to lift in highschool but then I took a few years off. I've been back in the gym for 9 months now!

We getting some deep lore

You got this!

Ayyyy. This is me currently. Lost 75 lbs with about 25 more to go. Can't wait to get to my new baseline weight so I can start bulking up.

if you ditched the bored ape you'd have it already, it's negatively affecting your aura

That's not a bad idea when you can get 225 to a working set. I have always been able to do at least 1 rep at 225. I just used 185 and 205 to build. 225 for 15 currently. I have a video on here of me doing spoto presses with 225.

Getting to 225 for 15 will be tough. You will have to get used to the burning sensation at that rep count. Honestly most of the time the burn Woll cut the set short more often than the muscle failing

You got this! I've also yet to reach this milestone after getting seriously into the gym for 2ish years. Incremental improvements are where it's at, we will get there!

Everyone progresses different! The biggest thing is to try and not compare. 225 is a huge benchmark and you’ll get there one day! It takes alot of time. I’m currently at 200pounds regular bench, and 225 smith machine bench. Keep In mind if you are doing regular bench it is much more challenging. Not only are you pushing the weight but there is no assists, it takes balance. You got this man!! Report back and let us know the progress 👏💪

Due to my insecurities on bench, I only perform it in my garage where nobody can see me struggling to get an 8th rep with 155, but luckily I am over 55 and skinny 167 lbs at at about 6 to 6ft 1 Will gladly do squats and deadlifts in any public gym, because due to an injury, all my strength is in my core, and probably 75 percent of my BW is below my hips. Just be careful and take your time, there is no rush.

add drop sets you will be there in no time

That's pretty good! I took an insecure about my bench even though the people I talk to (classmates) say it's pretty good

Good luck bro

@@HER0121 thanks g

Same. I did not even hit over 300 til after I hit 50

@@taoin5560 50 years old you mean? That's cool though. It's a lot better than going backwards lol.

Yea but you're a dog

I've been working out since I was 12yo, at first I couldn't bench the bar now I'm 14 my max is 140 and I weigh around 130. How long will it take me to reach 225?

@@actxce9220 You are doing great young man. My advice is to eat more. You already hit your body weight at the start of puberty, you are going to be jacked in no time 😁

​@actxce9220 Uhhhh. Wait for puberty? Once the T hits, you'll explode.

Not necessarily. I’m convinced old man strength is 100% a legit thing.

@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer Of course, but its easier when you're young. That's all

That sucks, I effed up my rotator cuff years back. Feel good about that 185 er because you already can press (no pun intended) than Kevin Durant.

I never really understood this, won’t both of them build muscle at the same rate ( in this case atleast ) therefore both of them progress at the same rate?

@@bojasim472 well the 100 kg guy has much more muscle to begin with :). Also - mass moves mass, barbell weight will be much lower relative to the heavier guy compared to the light guy. If you hit a car with a truck you will barely notice it, whereas if you do it on a bicycle you will probably go to a hospital.

Checked the comment section of this channel for the first time and only saw comments of complete monsters lmao. Your comment gave me back some hope (and will to live). I only benchpress 45 kilos :D

​@@bojasim472short answer is no they will not. Longer answer is more complicated. Firstly the bigger and heavier person will have more muscle on their frame just by nature of being big. Even if they are big via fat, it takes muscle to move that fat around, and once they get used to really utilizing that muscle for lifting their progression will be easier. Secondly a bigger person is just going to have an easier time stacking on muscle than a smaller person. By nature of being bigger they are in taking more calories than the smaller person meaning there is more energy available to the body to do the muscle building, and their body is used to handling the food intake. Think of it this way, say I'm 250 lbs and 20% body fat, definitely not "fit" but I'm working hard on it. Your 125 lbs and lean, we are the same size. We start lifting together and progressing together. My normal diet is going to have significantly more calories than your is, just due to my mass. But you say fuck it, your going to bulk and eat the same calorie count as me. Well your stomach is going to get real full real quick as your body isn't used to that lvl of intake so eating that much will be harder. Your body also isn't used to that level of intake so it's ability to pull all the nutritional value out of all those calories will be more limited because it's way way more than you body needs or wants. So a higher % of any caloric intake will be passed as waste for you than it will be for me. So I'll end up putting muscle on much faster than you will. However remember I'm 20% body fat and 250, I might recomp a bit but eventually I'm going to have to cut to bring that body fat percentage down in order to look anywhere as cut as you do. Doesn't matter that my muscles are bigger, you have less fat covering your muscles so you will "look" much more in shape and possibly even look stronger than me. Point being if your goal is aesthetics, don't focus to much on the weight. If your moving heavy weight to near failure your doing good work. If your goal is to make the weight on the bar go up faster, then putting on weight is a very important factor.

@@bojasim472 only if they're the same age and have the same diet and genetics. There's even been studies on identical twins showing that even with the same program they don't progress at the same rates in every.

I'm also a mesomorph, and 5'7. Three weeks in and I'm hitting 205. Yep everyone's different and your build does effect your progress

Mesomorph and ectomorph are pseudoscience, btw

There's a difference between strength training and hypertrophy (muscle building) training. It's less apparent in beginners because you get both, but it matters what you target when you're an intermediate moving to advanced or higher. Lower rep ranges, higher weight, long rest times - are better for getting stronger. Middle rep ranges, mid-high weight, training to failure, and medium/short rest times are better for muscle building. Most people should mix between them in some fashion.

He is talking about strength. And powerlifters and strongman for example do exactly that. Train with range from 1 to 4 consistently. I reached a 290lbs bench press, 390lbs squat, 440lbs deadlift and 176lbs for overhead press training in this range, with some volume training too.

One plate = one 45. 45 and 25 on each side is 185 assuming your bar is 45 lbs.

By any chance is your body covered with red fur? You sound like some primate :D

I hear that. I’m 5”8 with 6”2 arms lmao

Bro, that's deadlift genetics

@@glennvandierendonck3771 I did pretty well at the deadlift yeah, about 200kg (~3.05x BW) when I was doing powerlifting. But I much prefer more of a bodybuilding approach nowadays, no more back pain!

Long arms tiny build you could’ve been the best flyweight mma striker on the planet

If you're not gonna ask for a spot then at least learn how to do the "roll of shame". Failing bench is safe if you do it right. When you hit your sticking point and feel like it's not gonna go up, just lower the bar onto your lower chest/upper abs and then roll it down your body like you're making a giant pizza. It's uncomfortable, especially when it goes over the pelvis, but you'll be fine. When it gets to your thighs you can just stand up with it and place it on the floor. If you've got a bench station with safeties it's even easier because you can basically just position them an inch or so lower than your chest whilst back arching. That way the bar won't hit the safeties during the set, but if do get stuck you can just flatten your back arch and now the bar will rest on them instead of on your chest.

@@yewtewbstew547 yh no worries I already do that

how about snatch and clean pull ?

Going wider reduces range of motion

Yeah, it builds more chest, which is the primary mover. No need to overthink it. If it’s stronger with a narrow grip, than obviously you’re not getting enough tiddie hypertrophy to get stronger. Try going a hair wider week by week until you can get to the ring or middle fingers on the power rings comfortably. Your tiddies will thank you

Only one way to find out!

You are right there to hit 225 for 1 rep. It will be close. Go for it.

A 35?

1?

Just do accessories after you bench. Keep your bench reps low for strength, but then do higher rep machines for hypertrophy after
