How long before you were bench pressing 100kg (220lbs)?

[TruMass92]

about 2 months after i started working out really, began doing it but could only get like 70kg max up. 2 months straight of hard DB incline and normal bench, then boom 100 went up and down.. Feltgoodman, now 3 months into it, hoping to get to the three plate holy grail by end of year. Training for mass though as im still needing some thickness

Did a cycle of hdrol and went from 185 max too 245 max in about a month. Hah

No really though you could do it natty in a couple months if not sooner

I first benched 100kg at 15 years old and 62kg and 6'0. Srs post is srs

(however i injured my shoulder shortly after)

How long after you started training were you able to bench press 100kg (220lbs)?

I'm currently benching 80kg (176lbs) as my one rep max. Do you think I would be able to bench 100kg by the end of this year?

Thanks

Diet, Sleep and consistency in training are pretty much 3 things you need to have in check if you want to maximize your potential.

when i started out i was a skeleton out of highschool so it took alot of determination/will power to change myself, so typically longer than the avg person however imo lifting is a lifestyle change, once you start seeing results its hard to change, but stop and you lose it all in the long run....


So Time is all you got dont worry about results and just hit the gym hard and be consistent with proper nutrition, sleep.

best of luck

I was at 175 lb bench 12 weeks ago, currently on my 12th week of madcow 5x5, benched 215 for 5 reps yesterday. 220 by next monday. So less than 13 weeks if you get on a good program, eat well, and sleep enough. Cuz I don't eat nearly enough, or sleep nearly enough haha.

Edit: If you're older/heavier it'd probs be much faster.

That's great progress to make. I weigh 65kg / 143lbs lol hopefully I'll see the same gains as you. I'm about to start doing stronglifts 5x5 for 12 weeks by the end of which I wnat to be racking up 100kg for 5x5!

You are adding about 45 lbs to your bench. I apologize for using pounds and not the metric system. Anyway, this past month I added like 25 pounds to my 1RM in just six bench workouts. I am positive if you do everything right you could hit it in 2-4 months, if not sooner.

No problem mate, I'm in England, over here Kg are as good as lbs lol. 2-4 months seems like a realistic estimation thanks.

Started benching 45 lbs. My 1RM is 165 lbs. It's been 8 months. I ****ing hate the bench. Only exercise that I can't seem to progress in.

I hear you. Hopefully I might be able to bench 2 plates by the end of this year.
