Guys who bench 3 plates...wat % do u think bike there?

[Murd88]

Lifting for ~1.5yrs

dat feel when 275lb bench

[Jhalf]

Hit 315 by 18th birthday.

[PervedOut]

Used to do 3 plates a few years ago and 220 about 18 times. this was on a Smith machine tho because no one was ever in the gym to spot me. So i don't know what i coulda done regular.

Are your numbers skewed? Smith Machine bars range from 5 pounds to 30 pounds.

3 plate bench = celltech .... misc gonna misc

[5x10]

was able to rep it for sets of 10 prior to my first ride, not sure on what the overall %s are

[bealsjt]

Shts got me. I wonder if I will ever get that high.
I struggle with 2 plates, while the skinny fat ******* next to me throws it up for a set of 6. I will never understand

Feel


































Feel overload.

[l2ambo]

you are 230 lbs. For a guy my size it is considerably more difficult in my opinion.

He's 6'4" and your 5'8". The shorter you are, the easier bench is. If you were his height with your BF% you would be like 240-250lbs. You're basically saying that a 7'10", 230lbs guy built like a twig should be able to bench more than you. No, just no. Get your lame excuses outta here.

[Tasthetic]

315 for at least 1 is definitely attainable natty if youre dedicated and over 180-190lbs at an average height.

Even fatass Dana White can do it:

[habibtizz]

365 natty for x2 (no brotein/roids/anything). Ask 90% of college football linemen. Wish I could do more.

[1slo5oh]

Check sig.... being fat most of my life gave me great strength gainz....

No idea what the resistance is on a Smith machine bar vs regular? So, like i said...i dunno what actual weight was. Just kno how much i put on is all.

Edit: So i dunno if the 220 number for reps is accurate. Juss goin by the 2/45lb plates on each side for reps.

[stefanaustralia]

about 350 natty








(srs)

[VodkaFlockaBrah]

Only repping 2 plates currently with 1RM probably in high 200s, but arms are only 14.5 to 15 inches. 315 is definitely attainable natty with a few years of training, but a lot of the people who do it in the gym look like they juiced. Usually it's the look, not how much they lift that gives the juicers away.

I agree but weight plays a big factor, Someone built like a twig is going to have a hard time a any height. Someone 5"6 125 isn't going to have an easier time because their short.

Sorry OP but 3 plate bench isn't that rare

[Degenerative]

That feel when not attainable
265 bench, and judging by how fast or slow I go up it will not happen.

[endLe55]

Guy at my gym benches 445 for 1 rep.. probs only 85kg at about 5'10. Guy is a fukin beast man. Lifting for like 20 years

You can do it, I had a really weak bench. When i first started my bench was about 110 lbs and I weighed around 120. It took me 6 years but I can do 315 now.

[AnthonyKrz]

I bench 3 plates
Was not hard to achieve. Progressive overload, lots of food and determination
Also good psych up songs

315x2, less than 2 years of srs lifting. bw was like 240lbs. lulz. hard as fuk.

hit 300x1 a week ago at 215lbs.

3 plates is possible natty if you train and eat right. srs.

[Lamborg]

I take the stuff Coleman takes and I can only bench 50 wtf man

[DjShaun]

are you fkin serious OP lol 3 plates is strong but it aint that much

3 plates ain't much lol? most people can't even deadlift 3 plates. However 3 plates is very achievable natty, ppl underestimate nattiness so much srs

[peteyyytran]

Benching 2 plates for reps is that out of the ordinary for miscers... i see guys who bench 315 and i never think gear i just think damn i need to get stronger and bench heavier.

Progress wise it took me 3ish years to bench 225 for 8-10

This
Been lifting for about a year and a half now.
Spent 10 months getting lean, stopped training for almost a year due to surgery, and have been training for about 8 months again. Realised I could put up alright numbers, training to do my first powerlifting comp this year ;-)

3 plates is possible natty if you train and eat right. srs.

[primetime32]

I'm 38, with pretty average to crappy genetics and I was able to get 3 plates up for 3 reps this winter while i was bulking. If you had asked me 2 years ago if that was possible, I would have laughed you off.

Then I started eating right and getting more sleep and slowly worked my way up.

[bertostare]

4 plates for 2 reps, natty

[crbasha]

If your over 200 pounds its pitiful if you cannot lift over 300 pounds. Guys in my gym weighting 165 do over 300 for reps. No excuse.

[Purostaff]

what percentage of <200 lb lifters could attain 405 bench natty and raw?

I can see myself go up to ~365 lb, but I could only imagine dem feelz to be able to push up 4 plates without learning to ride a bike...

[Cthulhu28]

If you're not doing 3 plates after a few years of training...you're just fuqin around in the gym.

[Ferios]

Did 320 for 2 when I cut down to 172. Haven't maxed since though. I feel weak at my gym. Most people there my size rep 315 like it's nothing.
