Miscers who bench at least 1.5x bodyweight gtfih

[andthenithitme]

I've seen enough threads lately with people blaming 'genetics' for looking like garbage, and i'm sure it's annoying the people who actually work their ass off in the gym and get accused of having good genetics just because they look like they lift. The main thing I see people complaining about is lack of chest or having moobs even though they hit chest soooo hard. In reality, they weigh 190lbs and bounce press 220lb or someone on rippetoes bringing the bar down 3 inches and that is their only chest exercise. Anyone benching around 1.5x your body weight for 1RM at least, post a picture of your chest and list your bench/weight/height to help shut these people up.

Personally I took a half year break from lifting and basically had to start from nothing except some muscle memory, at the end of november. I was down to almost 120lbs (strong ********) and my max was 115lbs barely, up to lower 140s now and bench is upto 215lbs hoping to get 225lb within the next few weeks. So bench 215lbs/140ish/5'9

Chest relaxed

side relaxed

Thread repaired. You're welcome OP.

Incidentally, body weight 235 and one rep max before shoulder injury on flat bench was 405 lb, could probably get 390 or so now.

Everyone in here is impressive except for OP.

You only bench 1.5x because you're a skinny *******. BRB 140 lbs.

BRB I weigh 110 lbs, benching 165, I'm stronger than you.

lol.

I'm at 160, bench 225 for 3,DB bench 100 lbers for 3, will try 1RM this week.

[DNClay]

6'2" 190. Hit 295 a few months ago. With the weighted dips I've been doing, should hit 305 or 315.

Chest pretty thick already, but I'd really like to bring out my delts more, as I haven't really worked them on their own day for a long time now.

[ProfessorBro]

thats not impressive.. im at 205lb at 140bw

5lb below 150%

[xSwiftx]

I do believe it is genetic to an extent.

I have a well developed chest imo (shapewise), yet I'm lacking fullness. It's very VERY slowly coming on, but is lacking in comparison to the strength gains.

ATM the furthest I've done is 242 x 6 @ 168.

[AMGbrahh]

335-345 max at 210 around

This isn't a showoff thread, it's to prove if you're lifting a respectable amount of weight for your bodyweight then you'll see results no matter how ****ty your "bodybulding genetics" are.

Cool you weigh more than me, I was 155 at the beginning of summer and probably benching as much as you. Abusing ******** and running everyday of the week in track and not lifting will make you lose a lot of weight/muscle. You have 5 years on me, I can get back to where i was and surpass that by a lot in 5 years. How big were you when you were 18?

No current video, but will be happy to record it for you next time I max, but it's been awhile. I honestly normally pyramid as follows:

185x15
225x10
245x7
265x4

Haven't gone for the 295 in a little over a month though

Don't see the pic, but either way, putting up 285lbs weighing 130 is impressive man...all I'm saying!

i warm up with 185 for a set of 10, so if you bet your life on it, does that mean i own you now?
